Innovation Track
From Insight to Implementation
The Innovation Track at **Europe’s Premier Festival for Health & Care brings breakthrough ideas into real-world practice. Here, the future of healthcare isn’t just discussed—it’s built.
At Radical Health Festival Helsinki 2026, the Innovation Track connects innovators with implementers—from health systems to regulators—so that precision-impact solutions move from lab to life.
Built into the festival’s core programme and aligned with the overarching theme Operationalising Precision Health, this track focuses on the structures, models, and pathways that turn bold ideas into scalable systems.
What you’ll experience
- Radical session formats: immersive workshops, live labs, and design sprints that challenge the status quo
- Real-world case showcases: success stories from systems, cities and providers that have moved from pilot to deployment
- Implementation deep dive panels: explore finance, regulation, workforce and data ecosystems that unlock precision health at scale
- Matchmaking and startup-system integration: where innovators meet system partners ready to adopt and scale
Who should join
Whether you’re a startup refining deployment, a health system leader seeking the next wave of transformation, a policymaker building frameworks, or an investor targeting actionable innovation—this is where your work becomes impact.
Why it matters
Health systems are under pressure: ageing populations, chronic disease, rising costs and workforce shortages. Precision health offers one path forward—but only if we shift from potential to performance. The Innovation Track exists to accelerate that shift. As Pascal Lardier noted: “Radical Health Festival Helsinki is about rallying the changemakers who will lead this transformation.”
