Printing for Healthcare

Market diversification study of functional and additive printing in the health, accessibility and wellness sectors

Printing 4 Healthcare

Objective

Through this project, the aim is to expand the roadmap for functional and additive printing focused on the health sector, accessibility and wellbeing, in order to improve the competitiveness of our value-chain partners by identifying the key capabilities to be developed in the short to medium term. To this end, Navarra Health Cluster has worked with the Functional Print cluster to help prioritise and identify trends, connect supply and demand, and enable easier access to the specific technological challenges emerging in the market.

Duration

2023 – 2024

Partners

A collaborative project between the Functional Print Cluster and Navarra Health Cluster.

This project also involved the collaboration of the consultancy SILO.

Expected impact

  • Fostering diversification: opening up a wide range of technological opportunities for value-chain companies that had not previously considered this market a priority.
  • Creating opportunities: analysing how functional and additive printing technologies, advanced printed sensing, or bioprinting and the development of new materials can drive technological impact in the health sector, opening up a new market of opportunities for our members.
  • Dissemination and communication: bringing new applications and developments enabled by functional and advanced printing technologies closer to Navarre’s industrial and business ecosystem in the health and wellbeing sector.

Final result

As the project’s main outcome, an analytical report was produced, and its key findings and reflections were shared with member organisations of both clusters at an inter-cluster event.
