Innovation Administrative

Innovation Business Development Directorate

VHIR offers a vacant position for an Innovation Administrative to join the Innovation team and provide close support to the unit in the development of healthcare innovative solutions. The Innovation unit mission is to transform excellence in research, and clinical care into new products, services and processes that improve patient experience and population health, and reduce the costs of providing healthcare services.

In recent years, VHIR has developed a new innovation and business development model that has enabled to accelerate the translation of research findings into clinical practice. The principles of this model are the foundation of VHIR’s approach to innovation and technology transfer: collaboration, entrepreneurship, and impact. As a result, in the last years 13 technologies have been licensed, and 11 new spin-offs and start-ups have been created, which have generated more than 60 jobs, raised more than 62M€ investment and over 20M€ in competitive funds, and have a market value of +450M€.

To consolidate public-private relationships, the new VHIR building (to be finished in September 2024) will have 800 m2 exclusively dedicated to create an Innovation Hub. This space is designed as a place for co-creation where researchers and companies can work closely together, in a real clinical and academic environment, with the aim of transforming the collaboration model and bringing industry and research even closer together.

The success of VHIR's innovation and business development model has positioned the organization as a leader in biomedical research and a key contributor to the development of new therapies and technologies that have the potential to improve patient outcomes and transform healthcare. As VHIR continues to refine and improve its innovation and business development model, it is poised to make even greater contributions to the field of biomedical research and to society as a whole.
