Artmedica UAB has created „Nordclinic medical cluster“ on 15th March 2019, with the aim to provide medical tourism services to Patients from abroad; to search, identify and investigate new export markets. Having taken into account high competences and motivation of the cluster members and the successful implementation of R&D projects, the coordinator of the cluster, Artmedica UAB, came up with the idea to rebrand the cluster as „NordCluster“ and to develop a new cluster activity focused on cooperation in the field of R&D projects, expanding the community by bringing together various companies operating in the fields of IT, life sciences and medical technology, with the aim of promoting cooperation between innovative companies:
- Bringing together the science and business community (e.g., Organising a series of regular monthly community meetings “Life Science After Work”; every last Tuesday of the month)
- Providing assistance with business development (e.g. helping with commercialisation of potential ideas, attracting funding)
- Ensuring development of entrepreneurship competence, knowledge transfer
- Providing the necessary infrastructure
- Sharing good practices
The expected outcome of these synergies will be the development of new innovative health technologies
Planned cluster activities:
- Community building via regular meetings, brainstorming, networking
- Organising thematic lectures on topics of interest to members (e.g.: mature companies talking about their experiences)
- Sharing professional knowledge, financial and human resources among cluster members
- Development of joint Research, Development & Innovation projects
- Supporting the internationalisation of cluster members
- Generating ideas to address specific existing challenges (generating ideas for R&D projects)
Current members of the cluster: companies providing medical services: “Artmedica”, “Medicinos turizmo paslaugos”, “Minimaliai invazyvios chirurgijos paslaugos”, “Anesteziologo konsultacija”, “Baltic Aesthetics Clinic”; IT and electronics companies: “Vaizduotė”, “Progidėja”, “Esperonus”; medical technology companies: “Neurocta”, “Telemedicina”, “Experimentum”, “Respi”, “Aksada”, “DCA Farma”
The cluster currently has 14 members, but intends to expand in the near future both in terms of number of members and scope of activities. There are currently ~10 more members in transition process – various start-ups in IT and medical technologies as well as research and study institutions.
