The EU SME eHealth Competition is an initiative that rewards the best eHealth solutions produced by European Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This 2014 competition organized by TICBioMed has the endorsement of the Health and Wellbeing Unit of the European Commission. The Competition recognizes the best eHealth SMEs at European level. They get visibility together with marketing opportunities to attract customers, partners and external capital.
