The main idea of the project supported by the Central-Europe Program rose from the recognition that the clinical innovation ideas across Europe do not reach the small and medium companies ready to develop products from the ideas. A methodological project was launched to improve the present situation. The main goal of InTraMed-C2C project is to develop a toolkit of the innovation transfer. The project is completed soon. This paper summarizes the main activities and experiences of Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Healthcare Technology Knowledge Centre, one of the Hungarian members of the international InTraMed-C2C project consortium. The article gives a brief summary of the main results of the project, too. (Previously two articles were published in IME about InTraMed-C2C project, the first in October 2010, the second in May 2011.)

A database of health-related innovation ideas and products was created on the web in the financing of an EU project. The goal of the database is to link between the health care professionals and the developers, manufacturers.

The market of Hungarian developed devices and systems forming the homes intelligent is permanently growing. For the time being the parts of the speech driven living environment have not been in market, but the developers are seeking the possibility of commercial launch. The contact between the developers and the clinics representing the future users is supported by a European project, InTraMed-C2C, too.

The innovation and its transfer has no smooth, beaten path, presumably not only in the Hungarian medical sector: it is a laborious process, often foredoomed to failure. Even if clinicians or physicians have good, innovative ideas, most innovations will never turn into marketable products: partly because the „innovators” are overloaded by their daily workload, and partly because there are no institutionalized procedures for innovation management and the intra-institutional support is also missing.e The multinational InTraMed-C2C (Innovation transfer in the medical sector from clinics to companies) project, supported by the Central-Europe Programme, aims to change this trend. This paper summarizes the activities fulfilled in the first year of the project by the Biomedical Engineering Knowledge Cent re of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, as representative of the Central-Hungarian Region in the project.
