Assesing COVID19 impact in the LL network
We conducted a survey through the network:
Ø 100% of the Living Labs have been affected somehow by
Covid pandemic
Ø Covid pandemic created an opportunity to 80% of our
startups (81.3% answered yes, 18.8% answered no)
How LLTBs can contribute to the impact of COVID19?
“LL could provide support with facilitating a user/feasibility study
to learn the user and technical requirements we should input
into our design.”
”LL/TB can help us in two ways, put us in contact with mask
manufactures or helping us validate the skin protection by allow us,
test small strips of our adhesive in nurses that are in ICU units.”
”The LL can help us to obtain more data from others sources to help
more.”
“The LLs can help us to fit our current solution to the solution we
think the market needs”Extra funds for current projects to extend to COVID-19
EIT Health was established in 2015, as a ‘knowledge
and innovation community’ (KIC) of the European
Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)

Reaction to COVID19 impact:
‘Matchmaking’ solution that allows innovators working in
COVID-19-related research
EIT Health funds COVID-19 Rapid Response by providing close to
€7 million in funding for short-term projects to help combat the COVID-19
pandemic
Start-up Rescue Instrument was created to alleviate the
economic shock posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Start-ups can apply to
receive up to €500,000 in co-investment from EIT Health, in return for options.
Headstart program from Accelerator will award up to €50,000 to companies with
the potential to fill in the gap until COVID-19 vaccines are ready.
