EIT Health is a vast, vibrant community of world-leading health innovators with over 100 members, and is supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union. We collaborate across borders to connect and enable the brightest minds from business, research, education and healthcare delivery, creating a productive environment in which innovation can flourish. Together, we address the biggest health challenges Europe faces.
Europe faces increasing chronic diseases and multi-morbidity. To realise the opportunities that technology offers is to move beyond conventional approaches to treatment, prevention and healthy lifestyles, and we need thought leaders, innovators and efficient ways to bring innovative healthcare solutions to market.
EIT Health addresses these needs. We connect all relevant healthcare players across Europe – making sure to include all sides of the “knowledge triangle”, so that innovation can happen at the intersection of education, innovation and business for the benefit of citizens.
Our commitment to driving healthcare advancement is evident in our proactive role in mentorship, funding, and research facilitation. Recognised as a pivotal player in healthcare innovation, EIT Health's record of accomplishment includes: catalysing over 2,998 start-ups and scale-ups, helping EIT Health-supported start-ups attract €2.2 billion in investment, propelling 123 healthcare solutions to the market, and training 65,000 students and professionals.
