10. How? co-ordination and integration of Research- Driven Clusters “Triple Helix III” approach ◦university, ◦industry, ◦government, a must in order to achieve the growth and competitiveness opportunities that Advanced Medical Imaging brings to the European society.

11. Aims of AMI-4EUROPE to acquire a comprehensive insight into the design, implementation and impact of existing Medical Imaging and associated Health-related Technologies research and innovation support programs and initiatives in Europe. to create the Common Co-ordination and Knowledge Base necessary to enter the identified market niches to establish appropriate scientific advice and sustainable support mechanisms to assist the EC and national, regional policy makers to maximize the socio-economic impact in support of the health-related economy.

12. Finances The total requested grant is 2.682.504€ from a total budget of 3.225.844€

13. Impact to mobilize European health-related economy stakeholders to create an environment in which enterprises can start, grow and thrive, support the competitiveness and sustainable development in the Advanced Medical Imaging market that Europe requires.

15. Why? Thanks to the developments in Medical Imaging, Diagnosis is earlier than ever. Physicians have more information and insight. Care is less invasive and less painful for patients. Access to tests and treatments is easier as imaging procedures are available in convenient settings, such as independent imaging centers. In addition, patient outcomes— from fewer complications to saved lives—are dramatically improved. collaboration has been difficult Unfortunately, the healthcare sector is diverse and as a result, collaboration has been difficult The challenge The challenge is to build expertise in the development of integrated systems that address unmet clinical needs while providing a solid and consistent network of R&D + Innovation groups.
