How can regions successfully bring sustainable and digital health innovations to where they are truly needed—in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and integrated care settings?

And what methods were developed and implemented by the partners of the HACK-IT-NET project to specifically support the transfer of innovation?

These questions are the focus of the event “From Innovation To Impact: How Alpine Regions Can Build Stronger, Greener, and More Digital Health and Care Systems,” organized by the HACK-IT-NET Interreg Alpine Space Consortium. The event centers on a discussion of how transnational cooperation can improve access to sustainable and digital innovations. In three thematic breakout sessions (see program), you’ll learn about the solutions developed by the HACK-IT-NET partners and have the opportunity to share your own experiences and ideas—for health and care systems that are more resilient, digital, and sustainable (both environmentally and socially).

  • You’ll discuss with stakeholders from across the healthcare sector how to successfully facilitate regional innovation transfer.
  • You’ll contribute your perspective to an interdisciplinary dialogue and work on regional issues of the future.
  • Together, you’ll prioritize the key drivers for a collaborative, digital, and sustainable healthcare system.
  • You’ll expand your transnational network and make new connections in the health and care sectors.
  • Following the event (from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.), the project partners of the HACK-IT-NET consortium also cordially invite you to participate in individual workshops. Further information on the scope and topics will follow shortly.
