1 FCO Strategic Programme Fund BRAZIL PROJECT CONCEPT FORM This form should be submitted prior to putting forward a full Project Proposal. The Post may accept or reject Project Concepts. When the Post agrees a Concept, and invites implementers to put forward a full Project Proposal, it is not a guarantee that the full Project Proposal will be approved for funding. It signals the Post s interest in receiving more details about the proposed project. Before you complete this form, check the website of the British Embassy/High Commission in the country in which you are proposing to work and/or speak to the Post s Project Officers to find out about the Programme Strategy applicable for that country, and to check project viability. Project Title Purpose This must be no more than one sentence Background Background to the issue this project will change and why the UK is the best donor Designing and testing a new approach to Open Innovation in health in São Paulo This Project will draw on the rich experiences of the UK, and the considerable, but under-exploited investments in health innovation in São Paulo to develop and test a model for open innovation that exploits research results, fosters private-sector entrepreneurship and addresses health challenges for the public sector and for citizens. 1. Context: Innovation is one of the current strategic objectives of the Government of the State of São Paulo. A state with a legacy of scientific excellence, with seven highly regarded government research institutes, it is currently designing a new innovation policy for health, which will benefit from strong political and institutional support. This builds on recent efforts to implement Centers for Technological Innovation (NIT) in each institute with a mission to build the necessary innovation environment (technical, institutional and organizational) to turn 1

2 their scientific research results into innovation. Since 2013 these organisations have surveyed the Institutes and organized a portfolio of innovation and knowledge available for potential application. Nevertheless, in spite of this effort, there are still many problems in establishing and consolidating open relationships and collaborations between most of these institutes and companies and other health agents and actors. 2. What change will the project bring about? This is a state with excellent research, a huge healthcare market, a growing digital sector (including for health apps), a vibrant civil society, a commitment to innovation and yet a host of grave health challenges. This project will develop a way to draw these assets together and exploit them to drive economic growth and improve health outcomes. 3. Why is the UK the most appropriate donor? The UK s rich expertise in health open innovation in many different fields is essential to developing the best possible project. The expertise of UK organisations such as Nesta in designing, implementing and rigorously testing innovative new pilot approaches to challenge-driven innovation in health will be important to devising an appropriate and effective approach in São Paulo. Outputs 4. Will this project happen if we don`t provide funding? This project will not take place without this funding. This will provide a unique opportunity to draw on the UK s experience and examples, but importantly to develop long-term linkages with UK peers on health open innovation that will create opportunities for economic and social collaborations. This project will also trigger further funding and commitments by the State Government and its partners. This project would be designed on a four stage model. For example: Months 1-3: Research and analysis based on local assets and UK/global good practice and evidence Months 4-6: Collaborative design and prototyping of potential models 2

3 Months 6-9: Piloting of chosen open innovation model with a primary focus around around one institution, for example the Instituto Adolfo Lutz Month 10-11: Evaluation, review and submission of strategic approach to replication and scaling There would be five main outputs for the project: OUTPUT 1: Guide to fostering open innovation in health, drawing on examples of UK and global good practices and recommendations for (at least): (a) fostering an effective ecosystem for health open innovation; (b) technical, institutional and organizational models for collaboration; (c) valuing technological contributions to partnerships and evaluating the potential economic impact of innovations. OUTPUT 2: Mapping of the opportunities, challenges, key partners and assets for fostering health open innovation in the State of São Paulo. OUTPUT 3: Design and prototyping workshops and consultations with key partners to explore and test the value of a range of possible approaches to fostering open innovation in health in São Paulo OUTPUT 4: One pilot of health open innovation programme (eg 3 month challenge-driven accelerator programme), applying the recommendations of the Guide and testing the related technical, institutional and organizational approach. OUTPUT 5: Report on the results of the pilot, with recommendations for health open innovation in the State of São Paulo as well as final event for dissemination of results and engagement of key partners on further developments OUTPUT 6: Peer relationships with the UK ecosystem (universities, institutions and companies identified and seeded for integration with global open innovation approaches) 3

4 What change will this project deliver? Why do we need this project? And what will be the longer term impact? This will result in a strategy for open innovation in health for the state that could subsequently be applied to other areas of government (several areas already identified by the Innovation Unit of São Paulo Government). It will provide crucial input to the development of a health innovation cluster. It will help prepare the São Paulo ecosystem for collaboration with the UK and globally as well as within the region, creating commercial and social outcomes. In the course of the project, we will develop an explicit set of metrics that we will use to analyse the success of the pilot. We expect these metrics could themselves be adopted by the state to better judge the impact of innovation support initiatives. We will engage with policy makers at a senior level throughout state as an important route to influence for a more dynamic and impactful health system, Our collaborative approach will reach an unusually large range of actors (companies, institutes, citizens) dependent on the final pilot approach chosen Project Beneficiary(ies) Implementing Agency Businesses (commercial opportunities), research institutes (exploitation of research results/social impact), citizens (greater voice and influence, better health outcomes), public sector agents (informed strategy, potential for efficiency savings and exploiting sunk investments) Fundação Carlos Alberto Vanzolini (Brazil) Located at Rua Venâncio Aires, 417/419 Vila Pompéia, São Paulo (SP), Brazil, tel , contact through gte@vanzolini-ead.org.br Lead officer for the project: Guilherme Ary Plonski, Director of Education Technology Management Area. gaplonski@vanzolini-ead.org.br 4

5 Nesta (UK) Located at 1 Plough Place, London, EC4A 1DE, United Kingdom, tel , contact through information@nesta.org.uk Lead officer for the project: Kirsten Bound, Director of International Innovation. kirsten.bound@nesta.org.uk Risks Provide brief details of any serious risks to the success of the project and how these will be mitigated One critical risk could be a lack of institutional support for implementation and routes to influence. We have mitigated this by ensuring that we have the full support and backing of the Government of the State of São Paulo, the Secretariat of Health, and the Innovation Unit of the Government of the State of São Paulo). We have also identified a willing focus institute for the pilot Instituto Adolfo Lutz which has a solid baseline capability and a focus on the critical issue of epidemiology and public health. Other risk could be change on governmental policies and guidelines. This risk is mitigated by the fact that the project will be implemented during the current governmental term. And, besides, the State mid-term planning (PPA ) states governmental innovation as one of its strategic objectives for the period (strategic objective 11). Another risk could be a lack of expertise to deliver the chosen pilot and to replicate and scale the approach in future However the lead implementers Fudação Vanzolini and Nesta have a huge amount of experience and access to wide networks, as do their core implementation partners, Fundação Instituto de Administração - FIA and 100% Open. Costs TOTAL cost of Project FY 16/17 280,000 If co-funding has or is being sought, please indicate amount. FY 16/17 140,000 FY 17/18 FY 17/18 5
