European cluster collaboration delivers promising results for innovation in life sciences and biotech

The INNAXE project, a collaboration between Danish Life Science Cluster and five other European clusters, has achieved significant results in life sciences and biotech innovation. Over two years, the consortium engaged numerous European stakeholders, developed a “Joint Programme” for continued collaboration, and outlined long-term impact strategies. Even though the official project ended in June 2024, ongoing efforts will ensure lasting benefits for the European life sciences ecosystem.

Danish Life Science Cluster has just received the highest European recognition for the cluster’s work. Still, we constantly strive to become even better at creating innovation and collaborations to benefit companies and the health sector.

We do this by working closely with other European clusters.

“We must constantly strengthen our skills to facilitate innovation, and therefore it is important that we learn from the best in Europe,” says Karen Lindegaard, international programme manager at Danish Life Science Cluster.

A pan-European cooperation is now ready with promising results. The INNAXE consortium has worked to strengthen and streamline a European innovation community for companies, research environments, health professionals and patient organisations in the life sciences and biotech sectors.

Working together for European engagement and impact

The INNAXE consortium consists of six European partners: BIOCATMedicen Paris RegionBioRNHealth & Life Sciences Cluster BulgariaCouncil of European BioRegions and Danish Life Science Cluster.

The six partners met and presented the project’s results in connection with the Spinoff Bulgaria conference in June 2024. Here, the consortium was able to highlight three significant results in particular:

1) Engagement of European actors – including

  • 31 meetings with leading European opinion leaders,
  • 91 responses from European SMEs, researchers and health professionals in joint survey
  • 79 participants in co-creation activities

2) Reflections on sustainable results: The consortium has developed a ‘Joint Programme’, which based on nine selected topics will ensure collaboration between the clusters for the next five years.

3) Long-term effect: Although the project officially ends in June 2024, the consortium members/partners will continue to ensure the project’s impact in the coming years.

The results are compiled in the ‘Guidelines for Ecosystem Monitoring, Benchmarking, and Impact Evaluation Results. You can download the analysis for free here.
