The Italian healthcare system is in transition so there is a need to re-think the entire healthcare system;
- digitalization as enabler
- how to collect and use data to improve healthcare processes
- how to encourage and enable prevention
- self-monitoring and telemedicine and
- how to design sustainable future hospitals.
Italy and Finland have complementary expertise and competencies and the Team Finland network has identified ways to connect Italian and Finnish companies and stakeholders. This 3-day visit to Milan gives an interesting opportunity for Finnish companies to meet with potential Italian clients, partners, and key stakeholders.
