With over 1,800 participants from 63 countries and 55 exhibitors, the World of Health IT conference and exhibition was the biggest eHealth event to-date in Europe. European Commission together with seven EU organisations active in eHealth, WHO and HIMSS have been the organisers.
The European Commission has published a consultation on the new Europe INNOVA initiative - a pan-European innovation platform for start-ups in knowledge-intensive services.
The initiative is intended to create more efficient links between universities, entrepreneurship and finance through an incubation platform.
