Turning knowledge into health impact: Fostering cross-sector solutions and scale

The presentation provides insight into Denmark’s integrated life science ecosystem and the role of dedicated governmental strategies that shapes the conditions under which health innovation is developed, implemented and scaled.  

Delegates will also gain an understanding of how universities, hospitals, foundations, start-ups, and industry collaborate to accelerate the translation of research into scalable health and life science solutions incl. the role of innovation districts.

This presentation explores why promising health innovation projects often struggle to move beyond pilot stage — and what it takes to turn them into viable, scalable healthcare solutions.

The panel brings together perspectives from across the health and life science ecosystem to discuss how innovation can be translated into implementation and scaled across healthcare systems. Panellists will explore shared challenges, successful approaches and the conditions needed to build stronger ecosystems — from policy frameworks and funding to public-private collaboration, clinical adoption and international partnerships.

Introduction to Innovation District Copenhagen and guided walking tour

Introduction by Annemarie Munk Riis, CEO, Innovation District Copenhagen

Guided walking tour to workshop venues in Innovation District Copenhagen

14.30-16:30

Workshops

Venue: Different venues in Innovation District Copenhagen

This workshop explores how AI and digital technologies can enhance patient independence and quality of life, workflows and freeing up time for healthcare personnel for both new and core tasks.

Discussions will also focus on integration and scaling experiences so innovative data-driven solutions can move from development to clinical practice.

The workshop will focus on how to strengthen the primary sector and improve access to proximate healthcare especially in rural and underserved areas.

The dialogue will focus on discussing decentralized healthcare models to ensure treatment closer to home as well as cross-sector collaboration for patients with chronic diseases.

The session focuses on the potential of introducing new innovative solutions and investments in healthcare to optimize treatment outcome and value for patients, healthcare systems and society.

The session zooms in on the broader potential societal and economic value of healthcare interventions – often referred to as “dynamic effects” – including the long-term value created beyond clinical outcomes, such as enabling individuals to remain in employment and participate fully in society thereby contributing to economic sustainability and growth.

Facilitator: Jakob Kjellberg, Professor, cand.scient., m.sc. Health Econ, The Danish Center for Social Science Research (VIVE).
