Objectives

Wound Care:

The Challenge

  • Rising prevalence of wounds driven by longer life expectancy and lifestyle-related diseases. 
  • Difficult-to-treat infections, such as biofilms, complicate healing.
  • High costs associated with the treatment of surgical wounds.
  • Overall increase in would-related healthcare expenses.
  • Reduced quality of life for patients and their families.


In addition to these clinical and economic challenges, several structural barriers limit progress:

  • Fragmentation among innovation stakeholders slowing the development  and availability of new and better solutions.
  • Shortage of clinical trial sites in Europe with access to patients and trained personal
  • Insufficient knowledge-sharing between research and industry regarding clinical needs, innovative ideas, and practical solutions
