Mobilizing Innovative Investment Models for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
About us
Welcome to Invest4Health project, an innovative initiative focused on transforming public health financing for people's better health and well-being. We aim to enhance health promotion and disease prevention by incentivising investments and asset maximisation in these critical areas. Discover a fresh perspective with us on financing and reimagine the value of health as an investment rather than a cost! The need for change is undeniable. With public finances in a fragile state and ongoing efforts to recover from the pandemic, we need cost-effective strategies that span multiple sectors and ensure the efficient utilisation of available resources. It's time to let go of outdated practices and embrace the wisdom of prioritising prevention over reactive solutions. Prevention and health promotion are not just a cost but a valuable investment that brings personal, societal, economic, and environmental benefits. Our consortium combines interdisciplinary expertise with real-world test beds in diverse health ecosystems to make this vision a reality. We're developing innovative smart capacitating investment (SCI) models, testing them in practical settings, and creating a roadmap for large-scale implementation. But our work doesn't end here. We also want to empower citizens and local communities to participate in decision-making, ensuring their voices are heard actively. Among others, we will work with the industry to design and test a collaborative platform that offers broader opportunities to actively involve local communities in new governance mechanisms for smart capacitating investments with policymakers and decision-makers. We're determined to drive real change. So join us on this exciting journey as we pave the way for a future where smart capacitating principles empower healthier lives and thriving communities.

👨🎓 A busy start to the autumn for the #EUInvest4Health HorizonEurope project! Syreon Research Institute and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden represented Invest4Health last week at the Social Outcomes Conference 2024 in Oxford, the annual convening of the world's leading researchers, policymakers and practitioners working to improve social outcomes. The conference featured discussions on the latest thinking and findings from academic research alongside insights from the emerging practice across different geographies, disciplines and policy areas. Invest4Health was proud to present its research findings on 💥 Smart Capacitating Investments: Lessons Learned from Outcomes-based Financing Schemes 💥 in two sessions, 1.3. Benefits and challenges to outcomes-based financing for health, és 1.4. Beyond impact bonds to present. #Invest4Health project research is focusing on exploring the potential of Smart Capacitating Investment (SCI) as a solution to the public sector's declining fiscal space and limited funding for prevention and health promotion. Our work revealed a broad spectrum of innovative investment and finance models in health, highlighting the potential of Smart Capacitating Investment (SCI) as a novel approach to enhance policy effectiveness and support more sustainable health financing solutions. By testing these models in our four #testbeds, we aim to demonstrate how SCI can mobilize new funding sources, share risks among stakeholders, and promote innovation in health policy. These efforts will provide valuable insights for policymakers seeking sustainable strategies to overcome financial constraints and improve European health outcomes.
