Imago-Mol Cluster, the project coordinator of #Clusters4Health, participated in the third #DeepDiveDays event, held in Emilia-Romagna Region between 25-26 March, 2026.
The event was organised as part of the #Clusters4Health project – an EU-funded initiative under the SMP-COSME programme, aimed at strengthening cooperation between Ukrainian and European health clusters.
The project supports the integration of the Ukrainian organisations within the European networks, it facilitates access to innovation, investment and training, and contributes to rebuilding a modern, resilient healthcare ecosystem in Ukraine. This event was focused on social and environmental sustainability within the health ecosystem, being an excellent opportunity for the Ukrainian partners to create meaningful connections with local stakeholders in Emilia-Romagna.
The first day was opened at the Emilia-Romagna Region headquarters in Bologna, with an introduction of the Emilia-Romagna ecosystem, a brokerage session and an ideathon facilitated by Asociatia Clusterelor din Romania, and then it continued at the Villa Bellombra Hospital, distinguished as a center specialized in intensive post-acute rehabilitation for patients with complex neurological, orthopedic, cardiological and respiratory conditions, with a strong orientation towards sustainability and patient centricity.
