Life Sciences

Germany and Denmark both have growing and ageing populations. This development requires massive investments in the health care systems, which are already very expensive. Currently, German and Danish companies offer a vast number of solutions that improve the quality of healthcare for patients, and often in a cost-effective manner. However, the pressure on the healthcare systems is huge, and German and Danish citizens expect a world class healthcare system. In this situation, how can German and Danish companies contribute more to better healthcare solutions in the years to come? How can digitalization in the life science industry and healthcare create new and better treatments for patients? Will the public and private healthcare sector be able to work closer together to solve the challenges? How can the healthcare system become more sustainable?
