Advancing Biotech Innovation Through Horizon Europe
InnoThyroGen is proud to have participated in the National Info Day: European Innovation Council (EIC), which took place on February 20, 2025, in Zagreb, Croatia. This event aimed to inform, support, and encourage potential applicants from various sectors to explore funding opportunities within Horizon Europe. It was organized by HAMAG-BICRO – Croatian Agency for SMEs, Innovations and Investments (https://hamagbicro.hr/), Hrvatska zaklada za znanost (Croatian Science Foundation) (https://hrzz.hr/), and Ministarstvo znanosti i obrazovanja (Ministry of Science and Education) (https://mzom.gov.hr/), bringing together experts, researchers, and industry representatives to discuss the latest EIC work program and calls for 2025.
Showcasing Biotech Innovation: InnoThyroGen to a Wider Audience
During the event, our coordinator, Nikolina Pleić, had the opportunity to present InnoThyroGen, a project that attracted significant interest from experts across biotech, academia, and industry. The presentation highlighted the project’s potential in biomedical innovation, its role in advancing thyroid-related research, and its prospects for clinical applications.
This platform was an invaluable opportunity for us to connect with key stakeholders, research institutions, industry partners, and investors. Engaging discussions centered around funding opportunities, potential collaborations, and strategies for advancing biotech innovations through European support programs.
Key Takeaways and Future Innovation Steps
Besides introducing InnoThyroGen, the event provided deeper insights into the EIC 2025 calls and other relevant EU funding programs that could support further development, clinical trials, and commercialization efforts. The strong interest in our project significantly enhanced its visibility and credibility, positioning InnoThyroGen as a competitive innovation in the biotech and medical fields.
Excitingly, as a result of this successful presentation, we have already received an invitation to showcase InnoThyroGen at another major event—the National Info Day focused on WIDERA calls. This opens up new avenues for collaboration, funding, and knowledge exchange, further strengthening our position in the innovation ecosystem.
Looking Ahead
Participating in events like the National Info Day: European Innovation Council reinforces our commitment to advancing biomedical research and innovation. We look forward to further expanding our network, exploring new funding opportunities, and continuing our journey toward transformative biotech solutions.
