Update: PERMIDES 1st European Workshop

Oslo Cancer Cluster organized and hosted the ‘1st European Workshop : PERMIDES H2020 Project‘ on 06th December 2016 @ Jónas Einarsson Auditorium, in collaboration with NCE Smart & on behalf of the PERMIDES consortium.

More than 30 delegates from Biopharma, IT and Bioinformatics companies mostly from the Nordic countries actively discussed their innovation barriers and needs along the personalised medicine value chain and digital health revolution. MediSapiens (Finland) and eSmart Systems (Norway) gave stimulating presentations on Digitization of bio-business, Big Data Analytics & Machine Learning aspects. Oslo Cancer Cluster kickstarted the group discussions with an introduction to PERMIDES consortium, the Value Chain Challenges & Topics for Innovation Projects.

During the later half of the workshop, moderated group discussions prioritised the key challenges of biopharma SMEs which can be addressed with the implementation of IT solutions and automatised processes. The workshop thereby provided valuable input for the PERMIDES Innovation Project calls to be launched during the first quarter of the year 2017. In addition, it provided initial matchmaking between participants from the biopharma and IT sector.

Currently we are developing the PERMIDES online platform, where biopharma – IT & bioinformatics SMEs can identify suitable partners to jointly apply for Innovation Vouchers allowing them to address their value chain challenges. For more information, please visit: PERMIDES
