Discover the IN-4-AHA project outputs – Innovation scale-up model and roadmap (WP3 – D3.3)

This article is part of a series of editorials dedicated to discovering, at-a-glance, some of the most recent project outputs of the IN-4-AHA project.

In this article, we will focus on IN-4-AHA Innovation scale-up model and roadmap (D3.3), produced as part of the activities of Work Package 4 – Service testing and adoption.

To learn more about the playbook, we asked three key questions to Maarika Merirand, Project Manager at Tehnopol, lead partner for this IN-4-AHA product.

What is the IN-4-AHA scale-up model roadmap? 

The IN-4-AHA roadmap describes how the three most significant actors in the AHA innovation field should support implementing novel solutions on a large scale. The roadmap brings together conclusions from different parts of the IN-4-AHA project and proposes a strategic approach to innovation implementation.

 

Who is it intended for and what is the added value of this deliverable?

The health and care sector does have a large and diverse range of stakeholders, and the roadmap emphasises the importance of involving them.

However, innovators, enablers and policy-makers play the most significant role in scaling up. Innovators are companies, usually SMEs with novel services and products whose ambition is to internationalise. Enablers include a variety of business support organisations, from clusters and incubators to reference sites and living labs. Policy-makers include national, regional and European-level decision-makers. The roadmap proposes activities from short-term to long-term perspective, and outlines where actor groups should collaborate. More details on each activity can be found in other outputs of the IN-4-AHA project.
