EIT Health Austria

Welcome to EIT Health Austria ?

 

Launched in 2022, EIT Health Austria is the newest of seven Co-Location Centres (CLCs) and InnoStars, which aim to fast-track healthcare innovation in Europe. All CLCs are part of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, a body of the European Union.

We are part of Europe’s largest expert network for innovation and entrepreneurship in healthcare, collaborating to co-create and validate new healthcare solutions from prototypes to healthcare delivery and bring new solutions to market faster.

Headquartered in Vienna, EIT Health Austria brings together 20 Core, Associate and Network Partners, including some of the leading universities, businesses, start-up incubators, and healthcare providers.
