How we support you in your collaborative projects
Alcimed assists its clients in the setting up and animation of collaborative projects. Whether it is a H2020, FUI, PIA or any other project, we help our clients (large groups, SMEs, ETI, start-ups, research laboratories, incubators, publis institutions…) to structure their collaborative project, to identify the key players in order to mobilize them around their approach, and to set up their financial file if necessary.
Thanks to our methods of work group animation combining agility and innovation (personalized workshops, gaming, etc.), our support allows our customers to reinforce the attractiveness of their collaborative project by specifying the relevance of their innovation, to optimize their partnership and to reinforce the commercial potential and the economic benefits of the project.
Examples of recent collaborative projects carried out for our clients
Collaborative development project: structuring an e-health cluster in urban areas
We supported the structuring of an e-health cluster in one of the 10 main French conurbations by federating the players and creating opportunities for collaborative projects. To do this, Alcimed firstly carried out a comparative analysis of the 8 leading e-Health territories in France and then analyzed the different e-Health segments and the competitive positioning of the concerned agglomeration.
Thanks to an analysis of the territory’s strengths and weaknesses (SWOT) and the coordination of 3 working groups (“Telemonitoring”, “Observance” and “Serious Games”), we brought together around 20 players (start-ups, SMEs, large groups, clusters, university hospitals, etc.) around a newly created e-Health club, today generating many innovative collaborative projects.
Collaborative research project: structuring of a group creating collaborative projects of excellence
Structuring of a club of companies attached to a Research Institute to allow the emergence of collaborative projects of excellence. Alcimed’s teams first defined the ambition and the functioning of the club in order to submit the idea to the Board of Directors and then co-constructed the club’s roadmap according to the feedback received. Our work helped to clarify the role of everyone in the group and to encourage the development of new collaborative projects.

Leading collaborative projects: redefining the role of a Living Lab creating collaborative projects
Our team assisted one of our clients in the redefinition of the contract of objectives and means of a leading Living Lab in France in the field of health and autonomy.
The main objective of our project was to rethink the role of the Living Lab in order to facilitate and streamline the conduct of its collaborative projects. Our support allowed the prioritization of the Living lab’s strategic fields of action, the identification of collaborative projects with high added value, the review of the governance and the construction of a monitoring strategy.
This work made it possible to “reassure” investors while maintaining a certain amount of flexibility, and also enabled to realign all the teams towards the same objective.
Collaborative Innovation Project: European Vaccine Roadmap
We supported Vaccines Europe, a vaccine group within EFPIA (European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations) in mobilizing a consortium of vaccine manufacturers and institutions to build together an innovative “European Vaccine Roadmap” for the next 5 years.
Our team played the role of project manager in order to 1) bring together the visions of the different vaccine players mobilized, 2) co-write the roadmap with all of them 3) while ensuring the alignment between all and the coherence of the suggested directions.
The result for our client? A consortium of aligned players, a clear and ambitious collaborative roadmap, and a shared innovation project! Find all the information about this project and the details of the roadmap here.

A collaborative project is an initiative in which several stakeholders work together to develop and bring to market an innovative new idea, product or service, forming a partnership to share knowledge and resources. This type of project is often motivated by the desire to bring research and development (R&D) work to market together. It is the combination of skills and resources, the sharing of risks and costs, and the sharing of potential benefits, that generates the collaborative project. Stakeholders may include industrial players, universities, research laboratories, start-ups or governmental organizations.
