Abstrakty

W artykule poddano analizom trendy, które determinują transformację klastrów technologii medycznych (MedTech) w Europie. Analizy te były podstawą sformułowania scenariuszy uwarunkowań i wynikających z nich propozycji instrumentów polityki wspierania ekosystemów MedTech, w kontekście celów zrównoważonego rozwoju (SDG). Badania dotyczące uwarunkowań bezpośrednio sięgają do doświadczeń aliansu S3martMed łączącego renomowane europejskie organizacje klastrowe w obszarze MedTech. Celami badawczymi artykułu są (i) prezentacja metody scenariuszowej jako narzędzia współpracy, umożliwiającego pozyskiwanie wiedzy niezbędnej dla formułowania polityk klastrowych oraz (ii) przygotowanie scenariuszy uwarunkowań dla sektora MedTech, który zdolny jest do wnoszenia wartości dodanej na rzecz regionalnej transformacji w warunkach rozwijania inteligentnych specjalizacji i promowania celów zrównoważonego rozwoju. Jak wykazano w artykule, rozwój sektora MedTech w Europie wymaga tworzenia instrumentów polityki opartej na dowodach. Wspólna praca nad scenariuszami pozwala nie tylko na podejmowanie przez władze lepszych decyzji, ale także jest podstawą do identyfikowania nowych możliwości przez firmy, organizacje wspierające biznes, jednostki badawcze czy też użytkowników produktów i usług tego sektora.

EN

In the paper, we analyse trends that impact the transition of the MedTech clusters in Europe to formulate growth scenarios and propose associated policy measures addressing the MedTech ecosystems while on their way to supporting Sustainable Development Goals. The study directly builds on the lessons learned within the S3martMed alliance, grouping the renowned European cluster organisations in MedTech. The research- oriented objectives of the paper are (i) to present the scenario method as a collaborative, knowledge-enabling tool for clusters and cluster policies and (ii) to identify contemporary scenarios for the MedTech sector willing to add value to transition paths of Regional Innovation Systems. Thus, the presented method and the paper itself are not retrospective but future-oriented to envisage new opportunities for SMEs, business support organisations, RTOs, and the users of MedTech products and services. The paper posits that sustainable ecosystems can be fostered by collaborative achievements of MedTech stakeholders on the condition that they keep on foreseeing the external driving forces to help policymakers to converge them into evidence-based policies.
