Earmarked funding
Disruptive innovations happen when different technology domains join forces.
MEDVIA, supported by VLAIO, provides earmarked, non-dilutive funding for innovations in biotechnology, medical technology and digital technology.
The projects – combining at least two of the above domains – should develop disruptive solutions for a clearly defined unmet need in healthcare, or pool their research strengths to gain knowledge that will lead to such solutions. The results need to lead to a quantifiable increase in investment and employment in Flanders.
Grant options
We opened four different VLAIO grant schemes:
All recent and final templates (application, reporting) and manuals for the VLAIO projects can be found here.
We help you succeed.
MEDVIA assists participants with the preparation of their proposal. Of course, all participants bear full and final responsibility for writing and preparing a proposal that meets the criteria set by VLAIO for the respective grant schemes.
In 2021 a pilot call for projects was launched. Many companies, hospitals and care organizations participated, resulting in 75 valuable ideas for collaborative projects matching the strategy of MEDVIA. Our independent international jury validated the project ideas and selected the most mature projects for submission of a full proposal.
In December 2021, 14 projects received a total of €4,7 million
