EIT Health was established in 2015, as a ‘knowledge and innovation community’ (KIC) of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).
The EIT is made up of various KICs who each focus on a different sector, or area, of innovation – in our case, that is health and aging.
The idea behind the EIT KICs is that innovation flourishes best when the right people are brought together to share expertise.
The so called ‘knowledge triangle’, is the principle that when experts from business, research and education work together as one, an optimal environment for innovation is created.
WorkInHealth Foundation
The future sustainability and growth of the sector is highly dependent on the ability to attract, upskill, retain and reskill talent. Although talent shortages exist across the board, there are particular skillsets where new and emerging roles are leading to exponential demand such as in digital, commercial, and innovation settings.
Europe’s digital transformation, coupled with the evolution of healthcare triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, has accelerated the rate at which talent must be acquired to support the changing dynamics of research and development, commercialisation, and healthcare delivery.
Alongside climate stability, equality, and other key global issues, access to good healthcare is consistently cited as a public priority. The healthcare sector offers a meaningful and fulfilling career, paved with competitive renumeration, excellent working conditions, and the chance to be at the forefront of cutting-edge research, technology and innovation. Yet, data demonstrates that healthcare companies are not visible amongst the most attractive employers in the eyes of talent. The WorkInHealth Foundation will support in addressing this reputational challenge, and promote healthcare as a sector in which talent can thrive.
Collective action is required to address the skills gap and attract talent to the industry, and WorkInHealth is now looking for corporate donors to support the Foundation and shape the future of healthcare. Join us today to play a constructing role in the WorkInHealth Foundation; supporting the acceleration of upskilling and reskilling of talent and boost growth and competitiveness of the industry.
