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.

The international project consortium has two Hungarian members.
