EIT Health is an EU-funded not-for-profit European body mobilising and accelerating health innovation agents across Europe.  Our health innovation community, including approximately 130 world- class partner organisations, works across borders to bring together the three worlds of business, research and education.  

EIT Health brings together the brightest minds from the worlds of business, research, education and healthcare delivery to answer the biggest health challenges Europe faces. 
Our vision is to empower citizens to protect their own health by improving healthcare systems through advances in education and technology. Our mission is to become Europe’s leading health innovation network by 2030, facilitating longer healthier lives and more sustainable health systems.
