Can Eastern Europe lead the future of healthcare innovation?

25th August 2025

In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare innovation, Takeda Serbia stands out not just for embracing cutting-edge technology but for fostering a mindset shift that redefines patient care across Southeast Europe.

Milena Argirovic, Country Head for Serbia and neighboring countries at Takeda, joins InnoStars Talks to reveal what it takes to push the boundaries of healthcare innovation in Serbia. From the promise of AI-driven solutions to the power of strategic partnerships, she challenges common assumptions about “Big Pharma” and shares a vision for a more agile, patient-focused future.

“Innovation isn’t solely about adopting new technologies — it’s about creating an ecosystem where people, processes, and culture align to deliver meaningful change,” explains Milena Argirovic.

This philosophy drives Takeda’s efforts to harness AI, digital tools, and collaborative networks to accelerate clinical research and personalise treatment strategies. But beyond technology, it is the company’s commitment to reshaping organisational culture and partnerships that sets a new standard in the region.

Tune in to InnoStars Talks to learn why Takeda Serbia’s model could be the catalyst for a new era of innovation across Southeast Europe and beyond.
