The Instituto de Biomecánica de Valencia (IBV) is working on a new structure to offer support to the diversification of the economic activity by boosting innovative business initiatives on healthcare, well-being and quality of life products and services.

The service is especially addressed to companies and investors willing to diversify or redirect their activity towards products and services with a knowledge-based competitive advantage and less vulnerable to trends and fluctuations of the economic cycles.

Innovative business initiatives comprise knowledge-intensive businesses and technology-based businesses:

• Knowledge-intensive businesses: technology and business development to exploit previously detected market opportunities. In general, knowledge-intensive businesses are generated on demand and, once already defined, transferred and integrated into the ordering company.
• Technology-based businesses: this type of business is driven by the IBV’s own initiative or on investors’ demand, and preferentially relying on the IBV Association members for its development.
