PRESENTATION RESUME

The Région Ile-de-France, motor of an innovative health ecosystem

The action of a regional institution to improve her people's health by integrating health problematics as the heart of its policies

All the intervention regional fields can contribute to a genuine innovative public health policy based on the realities of the territory: support for the provision of care, training, housing, transport, spatial planning and research. So the health dimension is put at the service of a project to reduce territorial and social fractures in health field.

Moreover, Ile-de-France is the leading French region thanks to its health sector. It has a large national academic research network, a large number of research and development centres and a rich industrial network, both in the medical devices and biotechnology sectors.

Health is thus at the heart of the regional development strategy carried out in the Ile de France territory. As such, it is one of the five priority industrial sectors. Research and innovation are at the core of the skills and concerns of the Ile-de-France region to think about the organization of the future health system.

The Ile-de-France region is therefore fully committed to create an unprecedented ecosystem in which researchers, academics, hospitals and industrialists can meet and work together (Saclay, Cancer campus). To achieve this objective, a support programme for innovative companies has been implemented, as well as an international competition for artificial intelligence to attract the world’s best teams.
