The Zirro pre-study has now come to an end, and thanks to lots of response and interaction we believe that we have a good understanding of how an innovation arena can be arranged. The Zirro team still gets attention and positive feedback from entrepreneurs and people with business ideas, people living with diabetes and diabetics, from companies and the public sector, welcoming Zirro as a complement to the important work done at universities, hospitals, medical companies and organizations. We now try to maintain this enthusiasm while securing longer term financing.

So far, most activities concern two topics; a) tools for the individual to obtain better control of their blood glucose levels and b) preventing diabetes type 2 by encouraging and facilitating a more healthy life style and diet.

We will keep you updated on what's going on at the Zirro innovation arena. If you have questions, thoughts or ideas or in any way want to contribute, you are most welcome to contact me or any of my colleagues in the project team.
