HUB4MANUVAL is a Digital Innovation Hub that will stimulate the uptake of Robotics, CPS/IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) by Valencian manufacturing SMEs and MidCaps. The HUB will support manufacturing companies in order to be more competitive, prioritizing SMEs in the manufacturing sectors of relevance at Regional Level, but conecting also with relevant big players, as they can atract others in relevant sectors. The mission of HUB4MANUVAL is to be a reference one-stop shop Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) for manufacturing companies requiring innovation solutions in the field of robotics and ICT, bridging the gap between research and industry.

The Hub will play the role of centralising and facilitating the use of these I4MS technologies to the Valencian manufacturing ecosystem and will provide SME´s and stakeholders with facilities where they will be able to access Robotics, AI and CPS/IoT resources. It will follow a collaborative model by bringing together the main value chain actors and promoting collaborative R&I. The technologies used will be demonstrated to be complementary, showing that industry can be empowered when both are combined.

The hub’s unique combination of partners and stakeholders will effectively allow HUB4MANUVAL to establish itself as an Industry 4.0 one-stop-shop for local manufacturing companies. By providing a gateway to specialist platforms and infrastructures, the DIH will be able to help companies assess their digital needs, find or develop optimal solutions for those needs and secure the necessary funding to implement those digital transformation solutions.  HUB4MANUVAL incorporates partners and stakeholders from university, industry and government (Triple Helix) which will allow it to succeed by using a three-pronged approach where single sided initiatives normally fail. Clients, partners and stakeholders will benefit from access to an extended network of experts and potential partners (Pan-European DIH network), as well as early access to trends and Industry 4.0 activities.

Technology park Ljubljana started an initiative HealthDay.si in 2014 to accelerate placement of digital innovations into the healthcare system of Slovenia and globally. After 4 years, the HealthDay.si initiative reached its critical mass and began forming as a Digital Innovation Hub with clear goals & vision. Technology Park Ljubljana is non-for-profit organisation and consequently also DIH.Healthday.si is a non-for-profit inititative striving to support digital transformation in a healthcare sector. 

 

HealthDay.si platform aims to assist digital innovations to faster meet the needs of patients as well as demands of health care practitioners for the digital technology supported medical care. HealthDay.si brings together experts from innovative companies, healthcare system providers, healthcare economics and communication experts. New models of collaboration were developed and applied by companies through a range of workshops and coaching methods to bring innovative product ideas faster to healthcare providers and patients. DIH provides high level expertise for better understanding of regulatory procedures on the one hand and to better fill the needs of physicians i.e. health care providers and health economics organisations such as insurance companies on the other. DIH HealthDay.si is a platform developed by Technology park Ljubljana to assist companies with innovative healthcare solutions, for better understanding of healthcare economics, for easier navigation through complex regulatory and certification procedures for medical devices. It supports companies with technical compliance of digital solutions, quality management and provision of financing as well as provides other resources needed for accelerated application of innovative products and services in healthcare. A range of training courses and workshops were developed and delivered for companies by the key national experts to raise  competences  in areas such as application and registration procedures of the digital health solutions to the national Health Council, medico-economics, certification and technical compliance of digital health solutions, marketing in medicine, quality management and financing innovation in healthcare. The governing body of the DIH HealthDay.si is the council of experts that provides guidelines for the digital innovation hub in healthcare and it provided a Roadmap for innovation in healthcare in 2019. Amongst the stakeholders involved in the DIH HealthDay.si are the national Health Insurance Fund, commercial insurance companies, Ministry of Health, Agency for medicines and medical equipment, Medical Chamber of Slovenia, National Institute for Public Health, Association of Healthcare providers and Medical Ethics Commission.

 

Long term objective for DIH is to allocate 1% of Slovenia’s annual budget in healthcare for much needed innovation development each year until 2027 and thus better address needs of patients for safe, personalised, reliable and technologically advanced medical treatments and therapies benefiting the wellbeing of society as a whole. 

 

HealthDay.si connects stakeholders to enhance and integrate digitalisation-based products in healthcare systems. It supports cross-clustering and cross sectoral innovation in S4 as well as identifies specific needs for competences development and internationalisation with a focus on health and preventive care. DIH HealthDay.si has ambition to create long term partnerships and networks between complementary organisations from business, government and non-government sectors. DIH HealthDay.si is led by the Ljubljana Technology park and it offers services such as business model development, skills trainings, access to knowledge experts, workshops and matchmaking events, financing, internationalisation and IPR assistance.
