We are very excited to welcome another French ecosystem to our network: the Alliance Innovation Santé Nouvelle-Aquitaine Ecosystem based in Bordeaux. Read this interview with Amélie Babinet, Head of International Business Development and Partnership at the Alliance Innovation Santé Nouvelle-Aquitaine (ALLIS-NA).
Who are the key stakeholders?
Our main stakeholders are the Region Nouvelle Aquitaine (local authorities), the 3 hospitals and the companies.
What are the main objectives of your ecosystems?
The primary objective of ALLIS-NA is to take part in the consolidation and economic growth of the sector throughout the region, by promoting innovation in the health sector and strengthening the competitiveness of regional companies and the attractiveness and development of the regional health ecosystem.
Why did you join the ECHAlliance Network of Ecosystems?
Firstly, we wanted to join the ECHAlliance to have a better vision of innovation in digital health and be part of the growth of this innovation. Secondly, we have a strong strategy of international business development and we are basing this development on inter-clustering. That is why our goal is to connect with other ecosystems and create bridges to facilitate the transfer of information, companies and research. We believe that belonging to the ECHAlliance network will help us a lot to create more connexion with other clusters.
Which ecosystems are you looking to collaborate with?
As a priority, we would like to collaborate with ecosystems in Spain, North America and the Nordics.
