An effective model in the health innovation ecosystem: TUSEB technology transfer

“…Policies and plans made to create the national health innovation system in Türkiye should be handled at the regional level; internal dynamics should be determined for activating and disseminating innovation; and an integrative ecosystem should be formed by establishing health-oriented centers that will lead the system. [2][3][4][5] TÜSEB, the only institution whose scope is just to develop health sciences and technologies, plays a leading role in establishing health innovation ecosystem. TUSEB continues its activities and supports to carry out end-to-end R&D studies for the development of vaccines, drugs, medical devices, diagnostic kits, and biomaterials in our country, in other words, all processes from idea to product.…”

“…To make progress in this sense in Türkiye, it is of great importance to systematically implement an institutional structure that will cover the end-to-end health innovation processes, similar to other countries, and practices that will integrate and reinforce the institutional structure. [4][5][6] Within the scope of health innovation, Türkiye needs novel formations and studies for the localization in the field of pharmaceuticals, treatment, vaccine technologies, and medical devices. To create innovative products in health, it is necessary to increase the awareness of health professionals about innovation.…”

“…While establishing innovation ecosystem, effective communication culture among these institutions and cooperation processes provides a basis. [5,6] To provide a sustainable growth in health economy, it is required to adopt an approach, which accepts the necessity of innovation within the sector, to increase the capacity to develop innovation skills, and to create an innovation ecosystem in health. To support this process, it is essential to establish TTOs or the centers that enable the organization of R&D and innovation activities and the commercialization of products, both in universities and in institutions involved in technology development processes.…”

“…To support this process, it is essential to establish TTOs or the centers that enable the organization of R&D and innovation activities and the commercialization of products, both in universities and in institutions involved in technology development processes. [4][5][6][7] Although there are TTOs in so many universities and institutions that play a role in technology development processes in Türkiye, there are no TTOs and integrated centers that support innovation processes only at the focus of health. [4,5] This deficiency causes disruptions in consultancy, cooperation, and awareness at all stages from idea to product in health, and also prevents the transformation of R&D and innovation studies into advanced technological products and high value-added production structure in the industry.…”

[2,4] TUSEB was founded to serve our country and humankind in the field of health sciences and technologies, and to provide support to planned and sustainable development.…”
