💡 I have a project—how can getting in touch with La Mêlée help me?
Reaching out to La Mêlée and its Digital Health Commission is a great way to become part of a structured digital ecosystem, benefit from a collective dynamic, and accelerate connections around an e-health project.
La Mêlée’s added value lies primarily in its role as a facilitator and community organizer, rather than in medical or regulatory expertise.
Specifically, La Mêlée enables you to:
- Access a network of diverse digital health stakeholders (companies, startups, institutions, researchers, project leaders) in Occitania and beyond
- Facilitate meaningful connections to identify partners, gather feedback, or explore potential synergies
- Gain a broader perspective on a project through group discussions, diverse viewpoints, and real-world feedback from actual projects
- Gain visibility through events, speaking opportunities, communications, and promotion within the La Mêlée community
- Be part of a regional and collaborative effort focused on digital and healthcare innovation challenges
🤝 At what stage of my project should I get in touch?
- Ideation and Concept Development Phase: To test an idea, identify use cases, spot digital trends, or connect with an ecosystem of stakeholders (companies, startups, institutions, researchers)
- Scoping and structuring phase: To clarify digital challenges, identify potential partners, share feedback, and gain a cross-functional perspective on digital health projects through the Starter support program
- Design and experimentation phase: To facilitate networking, organize opportunities for exchange (workshops, roundtables, events), highlight existing solutions, and inform the discussion with concrete case studies led by members
- Deployment and Communication Phase: To raise the project’s profile, present it to the community, participate in events, and embed the initiative within a regional and collective framework
- Promotion and Dissemination Phase: To share lessons learned, build on feedback, contribute to collective knowledge-sharing, and strengthen the project’s impact within the regional ecosystem.
💸 Does it fund projects?
La Mêlée can assist with fundraising efforts but does not directly fund projects.
