Strategic Joint Venture 

A strategic alliance is an agreement between independent organizations to share resources, knowledge, or other assets. Partners coordinate their actions to pursue mutually beneficial goals while maintaining their autonomy. Each company gains a new business opportunity, be it increasing efficiency, expanding into a new market, capturing more market share, or some other type of growth. A joint venture takes this arrangement a step further, with companies pooling resources to create a separate business entity. Joint ventures are stand-alone enterprises that often share resources with the parent enterprises, and they’re typically more involved and complex than strategic alliances.

At ICREA, we have developed an innovative and efficient way to reach out to developing countries which are in need of healthcare facilities. We do this by building containerized hospitals/ modular hospitals which are made through re-fabricated shipping containers. The containers are modified and placed with all the interiors along with necessary facilities required by a hospital. This even provides all the necessary equipment’s for a hospital to operate. These shipping containers are modified and built to sustain the load for 40 to 50 years.

 

This unique and innovative model of containerized hospitals is ready to be shipped from its source in 2-3 months. The hospital can be functional in 6-9 months. The breakeven point in constructing this model of hospital is tend to be 3-4 times faster compared with conventional hospitals.
