How has the future investment program stimulated research and innovation in health?

Ten years after the launch of the Investments for the Future programme (PIA) and the implementation of these tools, one of Giens roundtable workshop wanted to further explore the impact of PIA on health research and innovation with the aim of preparing action reports (bibliometrics, valuation, reputation) based on 2019 findings and the history of PIA deployment in relation to the healthcare sector; to analyze the development of the industrial sector vis-a-vis the PIA actions and to examine how the specific actions and the healthcare sector in general were able to duly articulate themselves, or, take form, given existing structures or organizations and contribute to site policies through Idex/Isite. Five success keys have been identified, which should serve as a strategic compass for future action plans to develop health innovation: Full trust governance between the project manager and the institution, driven by project objectives; An increased role of universities in the steering of PIA objects, joining together in a federation, in a site policy with the Hospital University Centres and Public Scientific and Technological Establishments; A simplification of public/private partnership schemes, in the nature of the Assessment and Action Plans, and in the responsiveness of the institutions; help with the development of local ecosystems, the fostering and support of young researchers; early cross-fertilization between the academic and industrial worlds.
