**Innovation Director
**Innovation Area**

VHIR is looking for an experienced **Innovation Area Director**. The Innovation team is composed of 9 experts with the
mission of transforming excellence in research and patient care into new solutions that address unmet clinical needs and
improve patient outcomes.

In recent years, VHIR has developed a **new innovation and technology transfer model** that has enabled to accelerate
the translation of research findings into clinical practice. The principles of this model are the foundation of VHIR’s approach
to innovation and technology transfer**:collaboration, entrepreneurship, and impact**. As a result, in the last years **13**
**technologies have been licenced, and 11 new spin-offs and start-ups have been created**, which have generated
more than 60 jobs, raised more than 62M€ investment and over 20M€ in competitive funds, and have a market value of
+450M€.

To consolidate public-private relationships, the new VHIR building (to be finished in April 2024) will have **800 m2**
exclusively dedicated to create an **Innovation Hub**. This space is designed as a **place for** **co-creation where**
**researchers and companies can work closely** together, in a real clinical and academic environment, with the aim of
transforming the collaboration model and bringing industry and research even closer together.

The success of VHIR's innovation and technology transfer model has positioned the organization as a leader in biomedical
research and a key contributor to the development of new therapies and technologies that have the potential to improve
patient outcomes and transform healthcare. **As VHIR continues to refine and improve its innovation and technology**
**transfer model, it is poised to make even greater contributions to the field of biomedical research and to society**
**as a whole.**
