Concept
Genuine, Collaborative, Inclusive,
Made in Europe, and Radical
Inclusivity is one of Radical Health Festival Helsinki’s core values – all the way from the diversity of the participating stakeholders to our pricing models. The urgent need for a genuine European arena for health and care that brings together people, data, and innovations has risen from the rapid change we are witnessing in the field of health – Radical Health Festival Helsinki is answering that need. This event is truly made by Europeans for Europeans.
Healthcare is a puzzle. Let’s solve it together.
Radical Health Festival Helsinki is built through collaboration with leading public institutions, health systems, industry partners and innovators shaping the future of European health and care.
The Festival is co-curated with the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and the City of Helsinki, and delivered in close collaboration with ecosystem partners including éditohealth, the Radical Health Foundation, and EHTEL. Together, they help shape a programme grounded in policy, data, implementation and system-level change.
The Festival is supported by a growing group of global and European partners across health, technology and life sciences. This includes Nightingale Health (Platinum Partner), Medtronic, Elsevier, Philips, Sorsix, as well as organisations such as Microsoft, Boehringer Ingelheim, Sanofi, Tieto Caretech, Innokas, and many others working across digital health, medtech, data and AI.
By bringing together partners who contribute both expertise and active participation, Radical Health Festival convenes the full health innovation ecosystem: ministries, regions, hospitals, public health authorities, researchers, innovators, investors and industry leaders. This diversity is what enables meaningful dialogue and real progress toward operationalising precision health.

Radical in Action
Healthcare systems across Europe are under real pressure. Ageing populations, workforce shortages, rising chronic disease, fragmented data and unsustainable funding models are no longer future risks. They are today’s reality.
Radical Health Festival Helsinki exists to move beyond describing these challenges and to focus on what actually changes systems.
As Europe’s Premier Festival for Health and Care, Radical Health brings together policymakers, health systems, clinicians, innovators, industry and investors to work on one shared goal: operationalising precision health in real-world settings.
This is not a place for theory or isolated innovation. It is where policy meets implementation, data meets delivery, and ambition is translated into action.
What Radical in Action means in practice:
- People before technology
Digital transformation is approached through the lens of patients, clinicians and citizens, not tools alone.
- Adoption over pilots
The focus is on procurement, regulation, workflows and scale, not endless experimentation.
- Whole-system collaboration
Ministries, regions, hospitals, industry and innovators work on shared challenges, together.
- From insiders to impact
Sessions are designed to engage end-users and decision-makers beyond the usual digital health circle.
- Co-creation, not top-down change
Successful transformation is built jointly, across disciplines and borders.
- European solutions, shared globally
Best practices are exchanged across countries to accelerate learning and system-level progress.
Now more than ever, healthcare does not need louder promises.
It needs radical action.
