VELES – Teaming up for Excellence

The main purpose of EU-financed excellence hubs is to strengthen regional innovation, through boosting excellence in ecosystems in Widening countries and beyond, by creating linkages between academia, businesses, governments, and society. 

Telelink Business Services is part of yet another ambitious EU – funded project. VELES was established as a consortium of 15 European organizations aimed at accelerating innovation excellence in smart healthcare in South-East Europe. 

The ambition is to foster thriving smart health innovations by leveraging cutting-edge technologies like Big Data, AI, and IoT for personalized medicine, and informed decision-making, while also enhancing disease prediction, all in line with the Regional Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart S (RIS3) in healthcare.  VELES will also utilize place-based showcases to demonstrate and promote these advancements.
