Submitted by Kerstin Goos on 02 February 2017

PERMIDES aims at strengthening the competitiveness and foster the innovation potential of Personalized Medicine as an Emerging Industry in Europe by providing key solutions for the reconfiguration of the biopharmaceutical value chain towards a Health Economy 4.0. To do so, PERMIDES will create an collaboration space consisting of workshops, a semantic online matchmaking portal complemented by matchmaking events that will allow biopharma enterprises to identify the most suitable ICT company from the participating clusters.

Pre-registration for interested biopharma and IT SMEs is open now:

Follow-up coaching and transfer activities by the cluster organisations will maximise the effect of around 90 collaborative projects that PERMIDES aims to achieve.

The goal of the voucher-based funding system of PERMIDES is to support biopharma SMEs at establishing fruitful collaborations between the biopharmaceutical and the IT sector in the European region to advance the field of personalised medicine through the development of novel digital solutions. PERMIDES offers both support for matchmaking between biopharma and IT companies as well as financial support for the implementation of innovation projects with participation of companies from both sectors. The total amount of financial support of the PERMIDES voucher scheme is 3,000,000 Euro. Depending on the actual demand of the different types of vouchers, the potential number of different recipients of the voucher scheme ranges from 50 to several hundred. Applications for funding vouchers should be submitted electronically using the web-based PERMIDES Platform.
