Sustainable Healthcare: Empowering Environmental Innovation for the Future

We are happy to announce our next Stakeholder event, a panel debate on "Sustainable Healthcare: Empowering Environmental Innovation for the Future", organised in coordination with GSK.

As Europe works towards becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, fostering innovative and sustainable healthcare solutions is more crucial than ever. This panel discussion will bring together experts from across government, industry, and the healthcare sector to explore the path toward decarbonizing healthcare systems.

The event will explore key topics as:

• The current state of environmental sustainability in healthcare and what policies are needed to improve it.
• The role of R&D and innovation in supporting the green transition.
• Opportunities for cross-sector collaboration to achieve environmentally sustainable healthcare practices.
