Innovation Thanks to our excellent research, we are identifying new channels and solutions for boosting the population’s health and well-being. The VHIR is one of the best research institutes at the national level. The Innovation Unit is currently managing 90 innovation projects, 22% of which are at the fund-raising stage, 9% at the analysis stage, 30% at the implementation stage and 17% at the transfer stage while 22% are in the market, as licences, spin-offs, companies or exclusivity agreements. Our aim is for the research conducted at the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) to become a driving force for transformation, in the following ways: by creating an impact on the health and quality of life of patient and society by generating social and economic wealth responsibly and sustainably by becoming a global benchmark for new health ecosystems It was with this goal in mind that the VHIR has created its own innovation model which is centred on guiding research and knowledge generation towards unresolved clinical challenges and needs as well as creating innovative solutions for meeting them. Our innovation strategy is based on: Enhancing and transferring knowledge, with a business vision that enables us to maximise its impact on society and its financial return, to generate more knowledge. Bringing flexibility to and consolidating collaboration with the business fabric, including all the necessary players, and with an international vision and scope. International positioning of our research and VHIR as a centre of excellence. Implementation of our own innovation model which enables faster and increased transfers of the knowledge generated.
