R&D APPROACH
From evaluation to application
01
Method
Evaluate before implementing
Products and procedures are assessed to understand their reliability, methods of use and possible applications. Trials and testing help turn a technical opportunity into a controlled, repeatable process.
02
Collaboration
Industry and healthcare professionals
The assessment combines the company’s accumulated expertise, the needs expressed by professionals and the technical skills of international manufacturers. This means a solution is evaluated not only for its stated characteristics but also for the practical conditions in which it will be used.
03
Areas of interest
Where our research is focused
Our research areas are connected to the Group’s activities: surfaces and systems for pressure-injury prevention, maintenance and sanitisation processes for rented devices, and regenerative medicine solutions.

Projects
POR FESR: innovation in healthcare sanitisation
Zuccato HC took part in the Veneto Region “POR FESR 2014–2020, Axis 1, Action 1.1.1” call with the project “Un processo innovativo nelle attività di sanificazione in ambito sanitario” (“An innovative process for sanitisation activities in healthcare settings”). The project connects research with a key step in managing rented medical devices.
The project was supported by the European Regional Development Fund. Regional programme.

PowerALGAE
Microalgae for more sustainable agriculture
PowerALGAE studies the use of microalgae to develop biostimulants for agriculture. The project involves producing peptides in the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, with the aim of creating more sustainable fertiliser formulations.
The research seeks to improve nutrient use and crop responses to environmental stress. It includes evaluating the effects of formulations on plant growth in the soil–plant system by analysing the characteristics of agricultural species.
The project forms part of Spoke 7 – Smart agri-food within the iNEST ecosystem and is co-funded by the European Union under the PNRR.
