Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The goal of the project was "to lay the foundation for and define future innovation collaborations within AI and health, partly between participating incubators, but above all between our companies.". The goal has been fulfilled as the project group had the privilege of meeting in a short time a large number of relevant actors who work in AI and health, such as GE Health, investor Kidron VC and the incubator Mind Up.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project has resulted in processes being set in motion which have the potential to lead to the long-term goals, that at least 5 innovation collaborations between our companies and actors in Israel, as well as at least 2 new formal innovation collaborations between SmiLe and actors in Israel, are exceeded.
Approach and implementation
The project plan has been followed. A preparatory work was carried out in the form of a desktop research where relevant actors within Israel´s innovation ecosystem were identified and contacts were made. Smile participated in HealthIl Week, which in 2022 was held November 28-December 1. The project group participated in a full day in Haifa "When business and impact meet in Haifa" with participation from, among others, Accenture and GE Health, as well as lectures and workshops during HealthIL´s main event, as well as visits to actors such as MindUP, MedEx Xelerator, Kidron Capital etc.
