[#innaxe4eu] 🇩🇰 🔎 Zoom on co-creation in Denmark! 🛠️ From a roundtable organized in Copenhagen to individual meetings with Key Opinion Leaders, the Danish Life Science Cluster brought INNAXE’s major topics to the attention of key health and life science stakeholders. A couple of insights from those interviews and cocreation session: 📌Approval for an international cluster2cluster collaboration for joint actions in the 9 major topics like MedTech, digital health, public procurement but also and importantly for equity in health; 📌Cascade funding calls as a tool for investment in the field of public procurement with hospitals pitching their needs to ignite innovation power before the calls; 📌Equity in health: there is a huge geopolitical driver in Europe to lift the quality healthcare in all countries to the same level. Lack of equity can be used as a powerhouse to generate new generation technologies with more adequate pricing models. Inputs from the Danish ecosystem in feeding INNAXE’s topics were invaluable for our joint action plan. 🙏Many thanks to all of our Danish participants and to Danish Life Science Cluster. #innaxe4eu #Denmark #innovation #health #clusters #lifescience Karen Lindegaard

EIT Health Scandinavia is very happy to join the arranged session of HealthTech Nordic on how to "Break the barriers in HealthTech and accelerating health innovation". We will be sharing our perspective on how we enable the "Knowledge triangle" for the 3xI's: Innovation+Impact+Implementation and how we support the movement of healthcare transformation by scaling your innovation in Europe as your no 1 market. Interconnectedness of the 3 key elements: education (universities and higher education institutions), research (research organizations and laboratories), and innovation (industry and businesses) are still in huge need for close collaboration and synergy to drive research and innovation, enhance competitiveness, and address societal challenges. We believe that a well-functioning knowledge triangle is absolutely essential for fostering a culture of innovation and driving sustainable economic growth. Connecting the dots is the only way forward-looking forward to meet and connect at Vitalis next week! #healthtech #innovation #Nordics #Europe EIT Health Scandinavia Sahlgrenska Science Park Vitalis
