This National Call for Projects focuses on the ongoing search for innovative solutions whose main objectives are to reduce inequalities in access to health care and to improve the quality of life for children by developing preventive measures and by innovating or optimizing pediatric care and devices.
This 3rd edition will feature the same three main categories as its predecessors:
-
TALENT, which rewards an innovation that has already been introduced on the market or is in the deployment phase.
-
HOPE, which rewards a project that is still in the development stage.
-
IDEA, which rewards a project that is in the concept stage and needs to develop models and prototypes.
This Grand Prix competition is intended for
startups, established companies, research laboratories, associations, and students* who are mobilizing, creating, and inventing the pediatric world of tomorrow! This is a unique opportunity for researchers to enter the relatively under-invested but very promising market for children’s health!
(* Idea category only)
For the 2022 competition, Fondation Saint-Pierre and its partners have committed to providing a total of 100,000 euros in funding, in addition to optional regional support for the three winning projects by SATT AxLR.
