It seems as if Europe is slowly but surely moving forward when it comes to digital health 2.0 – both in terms of startups and events. As a Europe-based media outlet, with a strong readership in the US though, we are happy to be able to support some great people out there, who are also aiming to disrupt healthcare in terms of a media partnership with there and have a chance to support events as media partners.
When the masses will be gathering at Germany’s largest fair for healthcare IT – the ConhIT – the conaisseurs will be gathering in Berlin, Europe’s (rightly) self proclaimed hub for tech entrepreneurs. Miles away from boring panel discussions, there will be an ecclectic mix of people, who meet at the so-called Innovations & Investments in Healthcare Summit in Berlin, from April 26 – 27 2012 (It’s great to see people like Halle Tecco, CEO of Rock Health or Sutha Kamal, Co-Founder of Massive Health coming all the way to Berlin and discuss with some industry experts twice their age. It looks like the event is going to be very diverse, not only in terms of the program, but also in terms of attendees – from investors to entrepreneurs and futurists and government officials.
