Moreover, our ecosystem thrives on collaboration and is actively engaged in various EU-funded projects, such as OSASUNBERRI, OSASUNBERRI II, and ClivaMED, aimed at enhancing healthcare delivery and innovation.
In line with our newly launched Strategic Plan 2024-2027, we have identified six strategic pillars focusing on talent, data, regulation, internationalization, financing, and commercialization. These pillars underscore our commitment to providing impactful value to the healthcare sector.
Our primary strength lies in our ability to connect stakeholders across regions, countries, and the healthcare value chain. With robust support from the public administration, a solid infrastructure, and a thriving network of research and innovation centers, the Basque Health Cluster stands as a beacon of excellence in healthcare innovation.
As we look ahead, we are excited about our "Osasun Poloa" strategy, aimed at establishing an international health reference hub by 2025. Furthermore, the Basque Country's recognition as a leading hub for advanced therapies in Europe reaffirms our position as a driving force in healthcare innovation.
In conclusion, we extend our gratitude to ECHAlliance for recognizing the Basque Health Cluster as the Ecosystem of the Month. Together, we will continue to push boundaries, foster collaboration, and drive innovation for the betterment of healthcare globally.
