EIT Health

Through groundbreaking technology and a relentless pursuit of excellence, we are revolutionizing healthcare at EIT Health. Established in 2015 as a Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), we stand at the forefront of European health innovation. Our mission is to deliver solutions that enable European citizens to live longer, healthier lives by promoting innovation. We connect the right people and the right topics across European borders, so that innovation can happen at the intersection of research, education, and business – for the benefit of citizens.

We are a vast, vibrant community that connects around 130 leading organisations, exceptional in the worlds of business, education, research, and health service delivery, with thousands of start-ups, entrepreneurs, and healthcare professionals. Together with our Partners, we facilitate innovative solutions which will strengthen healthcare systems, promote better health of citizens, and contribute to a sustainable health economy in Europe. To maximise societal impact, our work is strategically focused across flagship initiatives which address underlying drivers of health. By integrating the three sides of the knowledge triangle – business, research and education – we create a productive environment, so that life-changing innovation can happen.

Using our collective strengths and assets, we drive positive societal impact that none of us could achieve alone. To sustain the activities that we fund, we shape the healthcare innovation landscape across Europe. We influence policy and launch initiatives to make Europe a place where talent thrives and innovation flourishes, so that we can improve lives and grow the economy. With our Central Office in Munich, Germany, EIT Health has a pan-European presence. We operate across seven Co-Location Centres, and InnoStars, connecting innovators across Europe and beyond.
