Cross Care

CrossCare is aiming at accelerating care innovations by supporting entrepreneurs in their experimental development thus facilitating market introduction. An essential part of CrossCare is the living lab setting that is offered to companies and care institutions. Thanks to the living labs, entrepreneurs and developers can develop their products or services with a maximum chance of success with their target group(s). CrossCare helps them by testing new or improved care concepts, services, processes and products with end users. Each innovation project receives tailor-made support from both a Flemish and a Dutch living lab. This cross-border approach offers access to a broad ecosystem to foster collaborations throughout the entire care and value chain. It also enables entrepreneurs to gain experience in international business and is opening up a bigger, cross-border market for them. Promising project ideas are selected based on a short description and video. After being selected, project ideas are supported to prepare a full proposal, including a description of the living lab support. The progress of awarded projects is monitored and if needed, projects receive support to be successful. Selected SME's also receive financial support. More info: https://crosscare.eu/
