Funding of model projects in the Forum Health Region Baden-Württemberg
The state is funding innovative projects with more than 100 million euros
The state is currently funding more than 60 projects with around 100 million euros in two funding rounds under the umbrella of the Forum Health Region Baden-Württemberg. These initiatives are led by the Ministry of Science, Research and Arts, the Ministry of Social Affairs, Health and Integration or the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism.
The goal of the project grant is to develop model projects with concrete added value for citizens that have nationwide and international impact and position Baden-Württemberg as a leading region in the near future. The funding is used to drive forward innovative developments - including key topics such as personalised medicine, digitisation, artificial intelligence and telemedicine.
Digital applications and new technologies offer enormous potential for medical science to exploit.
The term "personalised medicine" refers to diagnostics and therapies that are precisely tailored to individual patients and also make use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence.
In order to be at the forefront in international comparisons and in the diverse fields of modern medicine, it is necessary to better link the work of all players in the innovation system of medicine.
To overcome regulatory barriers within innovation processes, stakeholders in the healthcare industry should collaborate first at the state level and then at the federal and/or EU level.
An efficient healthcare system in the country needs qualified and motivated employees.
The prerequisite for this are training, study and continuing education programs whose curricula are geared to the new structures and practical needs of healthcare.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that economies and supplies in a globalized world depend on components and materials from abroad, and that supply chains are fragile.
