In this call, vouchers can be requested for developing and testing an innovation in a fieldlab or living lab environment (fieldlab testing) or in a real-world healthcare setting (real-life testing).

A working prototype of the innovation must be available at minimum.

Applying for a voucher

On the ZorgTech program page, interested parties can register for a voucher via the intake form. In this form, you describe your innovation in a maximum of 300 words. After that, members of the innovation program will contact you for an intake meeting. During this intake, you will meet one of the program team members, introduce your company and project idea, the program team will help think about potential project partners, and together you will explore whether your idea fits within the voucher scheme or whether other steps would be more appropriate.
