How do we support potential Nordic partnerships, development of innovative Nordic solutions, and stimulate export opportunities through joint branding of the Nordic market and innovation?

The Nordic cooperation in the field of healthcare relies heavily on innovation, and the patient is in the center of the development of healthcare in the Nordic countries. This means that we share new ideas, new research, new technology, new solutions and we work together in an extensive Nordic cooperation in order to make the best outcomes as possible for the patients.


In this session at Vitalis, Healthcare DENMARK and partners will present the result from the project Branding Nordic Healthcare Strongholds, including a Nordic white paper on Smart Digital Health

The project focuses on the impact, opportunities, and challenges for a future extensive Nordic collaboration in the field of Smart Digital Health, which is one of four strongholds highlighted in a recent analysis of the Nordic strongholds and qualities of the Nordic health tech ecosystem. The objective of the project is to meet the global challenges of an increasing number of chronic patients, elderly people, and mental health illnesses.

The session is administrated by Healthcare DENMARK and requires a ticket to the Vitalis conference.
