The Foundation’s activities

The protection of public health and wellbeing stems from a virtuous system in which basic, clinical and pre-clinical research is directly linked to industry, creating a synergy between the individual players along the whole value chain, in which innovation, scientific collaboration and professional skills are essential.

Fondazione Tech e Biomedical is at the heart of this system, supporting investments and initiatives to create a network of innovative biocenters, consisting of a network of research and testing laboratories, universities, biotechnology companies, businesses, and support infrastructure. This includes not only academic research, but also business projects with investments in startups and spin-offs with high growth potential, and projects promoted by SMEs, both through the Technology Transfer Fund and the Biomedical Industrial Development Fund.

The Foundation intervenes both autonomously and in co-investment with companies, institutional or private funds, public bodies and entities, including territorial ones. Among the objectives is also that of contributing to the attraction of investments from abroad for the localization in Italy of investments in innovative research and development projects.

Call to Action

This section is dedicated to public notices and call to action published by the Foundation in the areas of technology transfer, biomedical research and industrial development

Introducing an initiative

This section is dedicated to the direct submission of projects, aimed at investment evaluation by Fondazione Tech e Biomedical, that are not the subject of another procedure published and opened by the Foundation on the "Call to Action" page of the website (Expression of Interest or Public Notice).

Targets

This section is dedicated to start-ups and projects in which the Foundation has invested. The individual pages provide information about the SME or start-up and the project proposed for the investment round.

Creation of Innovative Hubs

To promote the creation of an integrated ecosystem of biomedical research and development poles in Italy, preparatory to and in support of the development of new drugs, diagnostic systems and precision medicine, with the aim of enhancing and giving continuity to academic, basic and pre-clinical research through to industrial production, in order to strengthen the response to public health emergencies, as well as national security in terms of production autonomy.

In this way, the Foundation positions itself between academic research and industry by creating a link between them, with the aim of fostering innovation.

Supporting business projects

Through different kinds of participation, the Foundation supports enterprise projects, provided that these are able to bring clear benefits to the country system. Within the scope of the Technology Transfer Fund, this mission translates into supporting SMEs and start-ups operating in the green and circular economy, information technology, agri-tech and deep tech sectors.

With regard to the Biomedical Research and Industrial Development Fund, the strategy is complemented by investments to support industrial projects aimed at the drugs production in Italy, vaccines or products for diagnostics and medical devices.

Initiatives to promote Italy's attractiveness

Promoting and participating in investment initiatives in Italy in advanced research and production, in order to support the decision to locate important innovative research and production facilities in the biomedical sector in Italy. The Foundation aims at contributing to the attraction of investments from abroad for the localization in Italy of innovative research and development projects.

Support and enhance research

The Foundation aims to support and promote initiatives for the training of highly qualified profiles, in order to bridge the gap between demand and supply of skills along the whole supply chain of this sector. The initiatives will involve associative partners, companies and universities.
