CrossCare
Cross-border living lab project Flanders-Netherlands
Goal
CrossCare stimulates, supports and accelerates innovations in healthcare (product, service, concept) by offering a healthcare living lab setting. The CrossCare fund offers an accessible way to realise care innovations on a larger scale. CrossCare is a cross-border project within the European funded programme Interreg Flanders-Netherlands and offers both operational and financial support.
