• Create a forum for discussion in the field of healthcare
• Connecting e-health stakeholders in the region
• Organize regular meetings
• Promote the Occitanie region (particularly during the Mêlée Numérique festival)

Connecting with 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 networking 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.

In practical terms, La Mêlée enables you to:

• Access a network of diverse digital health stakeholders (companies, startups, institutions, researchers, project leaders) in Occitanie and beyond
• Facilitate relevant connections to identify partners, gather feedback, or explore potential synergies
• Gain perspective on a project through group discussions, diverse perspectives, and real-world feedback from concrete projects
• Gain visibility through events, speaking opportunities, communications, and promotion within the La Mêlée community
• Be part of a regional and collaborative effort, aligned with the challenges of digital technology and innovation in healthcare

• 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 exchange sessions (workshops, roundtables, events), highlight existing solutions, and inform discussions 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 monitoring, and strengthen the project’s impact within the regional ecosystem.

La Mêlée can assist with fundraising but does not directly fund projects.
