Project description
A borderless European digital health ecosystem
Digitalisation has led to significant advancements in the health sector, but an open, regionally anchored European digital health innovation ecosystem is needed to enhance these advancements. The EU-funded UNITE project aims to create a seamless European digital health innovation ecosystem based in the UNITE regions. The project will tackle the challenges and opportunities presented by demographic transitions and the emerging ‘silver economy’. It will bring together stakeholders from various sectors, including private, public, academic, and civic, to address these issues. By leveraging the EIT Digital Strategic Innovation Agenda for Digital Wellbeing, the project will support local startups, develop new interregional European value chains, and strengthen connections between regional ecosystems and global digital health networks.
Objective
The project partners share a vision of a borderless European digital health innovation ecosystem, deeply rooted in the UNITE regions. A European ecosystem that can tackle the challenges and capture the opportunities of the demographic transitions and the emerging “silver economy” in full.
A borderless ecosystem which brings together key stakeholders from a diverse set of regions, from the private sector, the public sector, academia and the civic society. An ecosystem encouraging and enabling entrepreneurship, and pushing the local start-ups to scale up, and importantly an ecosystem that naturally facilitates and opens up new interregional European value chains.
The project brings together a wide and diverse group of regional and national ecosystems that reach the borders of European geographical, economic, cultural and care system diversities.
A group of regions with a complementing bundle of challenges and aspirations to reach, assets to mobilise and barriers to overcome together. It makes use and builds upon the EIT Digital Strategic Innovation Agenda for Digital Wellbeing, which is directly aligned and supports the regions’ RIS3 and long-term strategies, serving as the basis for the UNITE cofunding commitments and joint activities plan.
The partners’ vision to unite the open, borderless, regionally-anchored European digital health innovation ecosystem calls for an UNITEd intervention that:
- Connects the fragmented value chains, dispersed ecosystems and pockets of excellence and regional specialisation ambitions;
- Fosters the co-learning between the ecosystems and enables growing together; creates strategic and tactical examples of interregional value chains and digital solutions; and
- Elevates the nexus of strategies between the regional ecosystems and the global digital health networks and opportunities in long-term.
