Health innovation SMEs face an increasingly complex landscape of EU and national sustainability regulations that can be overwhelming to navigate independently. TIGER’s Sustainability Compliance service transforms this regulatory maze into a clear, actionable roadmap, enabling companies to achieve compliance efficiently while focusing on their core innovation activities.
Application and Market Scope Definition
Companies begin by applying to TIGER through Tigerpath.eu, where they enter a competitive selection process. Selected applicants then participate in an initial consultation meeting with their designated TIGER partner, during which they discuss their current sustainability compliance status – meaning their existing level of adherence to environmental, social, and governance regulations – alongside their specific market expansion needs.
Simultaneously, companies clearly identify their target markets by specifying which Alpine countries they aim to enter or operate within, including Austria, Germany, Slovenia and Italy. This geographic focus ensures that the compliance guidance remains relevant and actionable for each company’s strategic objectives.
Comprehensive Compliance Guidance
After an initial consultation about its business activities, the company will receive a comprehensive overview of the applicable legal requirements relating to sustainability (environment, energy, supply chain, CSR, product safety, etc.) and the specific regulatory requirements of the e-health sector.
This overview includes:
- the currently applicable legal provisions and regulatory requirements
- relevant voluntary standards, guidelines, or certifications
- at EU and federal (national) level
- at company level or, where applicable, sector level
- legal provisions and regulatory requirements that are expected to be implemented within the next three years
- identification of relevant product- or material-specific standards and regulations
Expert Support When Needed
For companies requiring deeper expertise on complex regulatory questions, TIGER facilitates connections with external specialists who provide in-depth guidance tailored to specific challenges.
