KAPPA-Health is a project financed by the European Commission in the health sector.
The objective of the project is to contribute to the creation of the most favourable support environment to SMEs in the Health sector by identifying and analysing how they can take advantage from a participation in a research project financed by the EC Framework Programme and what are the key-factors that make them successful.
The identified success factors will be used as criteria to develop a methodology for the assessment and valorisation of research project outcomes for SMEs. The aim is to help SMEs to benefit from the participation in R&D projects, commercialise the results and advise them in better access to capital (EU-and other external funding). KAPPA-Health will offer information and organise trainings to SMEs and intermediaries on capital acquisition possibilities.
The Kappa-Health project involves seven partners and is coordinated by the Brussels-based company Euro Top.
