    EIT Health is a "Knowledge and Innovation Community" (KIC) initiated by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), founded in 2015 with the goal of sustainably improving health and quality of life in Europe through innovation[2]. The organization acts as a leading European innovation network in healthcare, relying on the proven collaboration of business, research and education – the so-called "Knowledge Triangle"[2].

    The main mission of EIT Health is to enable European citizens to live longer and healthier lives while reducing the burden on healthcare systems through innovation and sustainable solutions[1][4]. EIT Health specifically promotes start-ups, Scale-ups and entrepreneurs in the healthcare sector through individual programs for business start-up and acceleration. This minimizes risks and accelerates the market entry of innovative health products and services[1][3]. Through training courses and international degree programs, EIT Health also provides innovative professionals and decision-makers with essential skills to meet the complex challenges of modern healthcare[1][4].

    EIT Health comprises a strong partner network with over 360 organizations, including university hospitals, research laboratories and global companies such as AstraZeneca, spread across 25 locations in Europe and beyond[1]. This networking enables the targeted exchange of knowledge and resources, creating an optimal innovation environment[2].

    In terms of sustainability, EIT Health pursues the goal of making Europe's healthcare systems more resilient and accessible, including by focusing on patient care at home and outside of hospitals. This helps to reduce the burden on inpatient facilities and enable more comprehensive, sustainable healthcare[4]. In addition, EIT Health is involved in projects for improved health behavior and preventive measures to reduce diseases and disabilities[4].

    Through programs such as the Bridgehead program, EIT Health specifically supports start-ups in establishing themselves on the European market by providing access to incubators, accelerators and EU-funded budgets[3]. At the same time, forward-looking initiatives in the field of personalized medicine, ethically responsible data use and AI-supported health models are promoted, for example within regional hubs such as EIT Health Belgium-Netherlands[5].

    Overall, EIT Health is a driving force in the transformation of the European healthcare system, which, through a combination of sound education and training, innovation promotion and cross-border cooperation, makes healthcare systems more sustainable and improves access to groundbreaking healthcare solutions for patients.
