\u201dLa Caixa\u201d Foundation has published the resolution for the 2024 CaixaImpulse Innovation call, which supports 29 new biomedical projects from research centers, hospitals and universities in Spain and Portugal. The aim of the program is to accelerate these innovations arrival to the market and thus bring them closer to the patients who may need them. Likewise, CaixaImpulse Innovation encourages the creation of new products, services and companies related to life sciences and health.<\/p>\n
The winning projects – out of more than 400 applications received – have been evaluated by six panels of international experts and professionals in this field. Among those selected, four IDIBELL researchers will receive funding to promote the following research and innovation projects:<\/p>\n
Training and expert support for projects<\/strong><\/p>\n CaixaImpulse Innovaci\u00f3n supports biomedical projects in the field of innovation and transfer by helping researchers validate their assets and define their exploitation and valorization strategy to bring the projects closer to the market, so, in addition to economic support, they will also obtain mentoring, consulting and support services by international experts in different areas of the innovation ecosystem.<\/p>\n According to Ignasi L\u00f3pez, director of the Area of Partnerships with Research and Health Institutions at “la Caixa” Foundation: “The result of this call reflects not only the abundance, but also the exceptional quality of the innovation projects in biomedicine and health in Spain and Portugal. We are proud to be able to support them, offering both the necessary financial aid and the tools for them to reach the market with strength and security”.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) is a biomedical research center created in 2004.
