Care for sustainable Innovation (CSI)

The Care for sustainable Innovation project is driving the digital and sustainable transformation of the healthcare industry in the Aachen region. Together with universities, companies and start-ups, we are building an innovation ecosystem for creative minds. By systematically networking the research and development expertise of science, business and practice, the region is becoming a dynamic experimental space in which ideas are developed, tested and scaled - until innovations become marketable business models.

A particular focus: cross-innovations - this is where synergies and new ideas for innovative solutions at the interfaces between industries are created.

Our innovation drivers:

  • Cross-innovation workshops - We bring together people with expertise in healthcare and life sciences, the circular economy, the bioeconomy, networked mobility, the IT sector, the energy industry and innovative construction. In our transdisciplinary workshops, they work together to develop ideas for innovations and collaborations.
  • Innovation partnerships - We support partnerships of users from the healthcare industry, developers and manufacturers of medical and sustainability products, software and network technologies, universities and organizations in the development of products and services with coaching and workshops.
  • Innovative projects for digital healthcare - With the development of the Smart Care + More platform, the expansion of digital medicine and innovative municipal projects for the future, we are improving healthcare with innovations from the region for the region.
  • Governance structures - We are developing regional structures to systematically anchor innovations in the healthcare industry in the future.
  • Cross-innovation for the next generation - Our innovation routes, innovation conferences, cross-ideation workshops and summer schools inspire employees in the healthcare industry, students, people from companies, politics, administration and science for digital and sustainable change with innovations from the region.
