End of 2009, the Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Employment launched a call for projects to create the National Reference Center for Home Health and Autonomy (CNR Santé).
It is indeed imperative for public authorities to innovate in healthcare and medico-social management, given the increase in life expectancy and societal expectations regarding autonomy and mobility.
To this end, the World Competitiveness Cluster Secure Communicating Solutions (SCS) and the University Hospital Center of Nice (CHUN), in partnership with the competitiveness clusters Minalogic, Elopsys, Cancer Bio Santé, and the university hospitals of Toulouse, Grenoble, and Limoges, submitted their application and were selected. The Secretary of State for Industry and Consumer Affairs then announced that the headquarters of the CNR would be installed in Nice.
This CNR Santé is a unique opportunity for the region, the department, and the Azur capital to develop a sector of excellence in the field of innovation for health and home autonomy.
Thus, the Delvalle space is specifically set up to host the national headquarters of the CNR at the end of 2013, in an exemplary building regarding environmental (HQE) and health issues.
This 2.3 million euro operation will host, by the end of this year, a multidisciplinary team that will develop its national and international activities from Nice, in a building of nearly 1,000 square meters located on Professor Delvalle Street, near the new Pasteur II hospital and at the heart of a highly efficient Nice health ecosystem.
This innovation space will enable the meeting of citizens, industrialists, researchers, and all professionals concerned with health and autonomy themes.
The ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and Health sector aims to become a European reference.
