How EIT Health Works

EIT Health is part of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), bringing together organisations across business, research, education and healthcare to drive innovation in health and ageing.

At the core of our approach is a simple idea: innovation happens faster when the right people work together. By connecting expertise across sectors and borders, we create an environment where ideas can grow into real-world solutions.

Through our network, we support the development of new healthcare innovations, the creation of start-ups, and the upskilling of Europe’s workforce, strengthening both health systems and economies across Europe.

 

We turn collaboration into impact, from idea to market, across Europe.
