ConhIT - Connecting Healthcare IT, is Europe‘s leading event for Health IT - provided a perfect place for PERMIDES consortium partners to get in contact with IT-providers of solutions for personalized healthcare / life science and to organise a PERMIDES B2B matchmaking event in the framework of this event. Several sessions at ConhIT were preserved for presentations of start-ups with new innovative ideas – one major target group to raise awareness of this EU-funded project.

Supported by the European Enterprise Network and Austrian support organizations (Österreichische Aussenwirtschaftsservice, Standortagentur Tirol), our consortium partners Biz-UP and Oncotyrol were able to present PERMIDES at several occasions as well as at a joint booth at ConHIT. The concept of PERMIDES was presented to an interested audience not only during a 15min presentation of PERMIDES, but also during numerous bi-lateral discussions with SMEs and startups. In addition, the PERMIDES representatives took part in the “Games4Health” session and networking event which resultet in manifold cooperation opportunities for SMEs. The Games4Health approach is based on gamification / serious games and open innovation, and brought together companies from the IT and health sector in order to discuss and create new solutions for prevention, diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation.

Another opportunity for awareness rising as regards to the upcoming PERMIDES deadline for innovation projects applications was the Dutch Digital Health Night at the Embassy of the Netherlands in Berlin. After an impressive presentation about the „Hospital of the Future“ by Jeroen Tas, Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer at Philips, the PERMIDES representatives had fruitful discussions with cluster representatives who will disseminate the PERMIDES call to their members and associated institutions.
