Evropský dům in Prague hosted the first meeting of the members of the Czech regional multi-stakeholder group of the project HoCare on 2nd December 2016. The representatives of business, research, public and health/social (services providers) sphere got together in one place, in order to discuss the current issues and obstacles in the field of development of innovations in home care area.
The meeting was organised by DEX Innovation Centre within the project HoCare, which aims to boost creation of new innovative solutions in the area of home care by strengthening cooperation of actors in regional innovation chains with the use of the approach based on quadruple-helix model.
At the beginning, Michal Štefan on behalf of DEX Innovation Centre introduced not only the main aims of the project but also its planned activities. This project will work actively not only with the Czech actors of innovative regional chains in the area of home care, but also with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which is the governing body of OP (Operational Programme) PIK, which is the main programme for the support of research and development of innovations in the Czech Republic (specifically priority axis 1).
The first regional analysis outputs were introduced at the end of the meeting. This analysis reviews the current state of the support of development of innovations in the area of home care within so called quadruple-helix model. The final version of analysis is supposed to be finalised with the involvement of all participants at the end of January 2017. How else to close this meeting than with a vivid discussion – that happened among participants on the topic of current issues and obstacles in the field of development of innovations in the area of home care.
