Earmarked funding 

Funding for medtech, biotech & digital health

Earmarked funding for innovations in medtech, biotech & digital medicine

Disruptive innovations happen when different technology domains join forces.

MEDVIA, supported by VLAIO, provides 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.

Call for projects 2024.1

Grant options.

We opened four different VLAIO grant schemes:

  • Feasibility study
  • Research Innovation Grant
  • Development Innovation Grant
  • ICON Grant5. The ICON grant schemes are relatively new and not yet well-known, but they fulfil a bridging function between academic (more fundamental) research and industrial R&D. An ICON project must thus contain both these elements.

We help you succeed.

MEDVIA assists participants with the preparation of their proposal. Of course, all participants bear full and final responsibility for writing and preparing a proposal that meets the criteria set by VLAIO for the respective grant schemes.
