Oral Bridge strengthens the oral health innovation ecosystem by connecting researchers, SMEs, entrepreneurs, dental care, and innovation support organisations. The project creates a structured pathway for developing, testing, validating, and implementing new solutions connected to oral health.
The aim of the Oral Bridge project is to build an arena that supports companies and researchers throughout the innovation process by providing access to test environments, expert networks, and the tools needed to bring new oral health solutions to market.
A key focus of the project is early and structured user involvement. By integrating user perspectives throughout the development process, innovations become more relevant, accessible, and easier to implement, while increasing the competitiveness of participating companies.
Oral Bridge builds on the Dent2Health initiative and the cross-sectoral oral health network established by Medeon. By connecting existing expertise and networks with innovation and testing capabilities, the project helps transform research and ideas into validated solutions with real-world impact.
The Oral Bridge project is co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the Region Skåne.
