EDCA

The initiative was founded by Euromediag (Montpellier / France) and BioWin (Gosselies / Belgium). These two clusters were joined by Medicen (Paris, France), Welsh Government Life Sciences Team (Wales, United Kingdom), Lyonbiopole (Lyon, France), Zentrum für Molekulare Diagnostikund Bioanalytik (ZMDB) (Berlin-Brandenburg, Germany), Uppsala BIO (Uppsala, Sweden), Klaster Life Science Krakow (Krakow, Poland) and Biocat.

The main aims of this alliance are:

To underpin the competitiveness of European medical diagnostic stakeholders though networking and innovative partnerships
To encourage synergies and collaborative projects among all the partners
To facilitate and accelerate access to non-European markets
To harness the pre-eminent role of diagnostics in healthcare practice
