This project is part of the transformation of the Limburg Diepenbeek Campus. The ambition is to develop the campus into a high-performing innovation area that offers space for education, research and activity, but above all stimulates the interaction between these innovation drivers. In every successful innovative campus model, the exchange of expertise between knowledge institutions on the one hand and the business community and the sector concerned on the other is a driving force behind an economically innovative model. Part-campus ‘Health Campus Limburg DC’ will become the hub of innovation in healthcare and life sciences._x000D_ This project focuses on the expansion of a new gate building on the Health Campus. The gate building will be transformed into an open innovation centre for healthcare. A place where healthcare providers, knowledge institutions, governments and citizens meet and work together to come to care innovations. We offer space for various developments focused on healthcare innovation. The focus is on THINK3 (a living lab for system and process innovation in healthcare) and the Centrum voor de Eerste Lijn Limburg (a collaboration between 19 stakeholders in healthcare and the three Limburg knowledge institutions). In addition, office spaces are provided for (dome) organisations, first-line zones and other partners from the public sector. Parallel to these office spaces, shared facilities (aula, meeting rooms, demo rooms, etc.) are offered that focus on consultation, training, further training, workshops, brainstorming sessions. In terms of content, the open care innovation centre focuses mainly on the challenges associated with care transformation and the innovative solutions for this. At a time when the focus is increasingly shifting to home care and remote care, the Health Campus offers the location par excellence to further research, test and accelerate digitization and new technologies and processes in healthcare through co-creation, so that these can be applied in the field of work._x000D_ Where the BioVille incubator on campus mainly supports start-up companies, this open care innovation center will establish the link between innovation within the knowledge institutions, (start-up) companies and applications in the healthcare sector. With an integrated pedestrian bridge, the care innovation centre is connected to the business and biomedical research districts of the campus. The realization of this gate building contributes to the objective of Health Campus to stimulate high-quality care and responsible entrepreneurship in care through collaboration, innovation and valorisation. It also fits seamlessly with the ERDF's objective of innovation in the horizontal field of health care. By realizing a lighthouse location for care innovation with extra attention to integrated care, the impact of this gate building and by extension the entire Health Campus will be enormous. As a result, Limburg continues to grow as a province with a highly innovative healthcare sector, with national and international impact._x000D_
