Earmarked funding – call 2022.2

€8 million for BioTech-MedTech & Digital Health

Earmarked funding for innovations in BioTech, MedTech and Digital Technology.

Disruptive innovations happen when different technology domains join forces.

In 2022 MEDVIA supported by VLAIO provides €8 million earmarked non-dilutive funding for innovations in biotechnology, medical technology, and digital technology.

The projects – combining at least two of the above domains – should develop disruptive solutions for a clearly defined unmet need in healthcare or pool their research strengths to gain knowledge that will lead to such solutions. The results need to lead to a quantifiable increase in investment and employment in Flanders.

Better together

and are joining forces in a brand new organization

The members of MEDVIA and flanders.bio have voted to merge their activities in the first half of 2025. With a united voice, we will champion the entire healthtech and biotech ecosystem on the regional, federal and European stage.
