Many challenges and enablers exist to designing, testing and implementing innovative solutions for health in the framework of the digital and environmental transitions.

The RSCN, NET4Age-Friendly and ProMIS communities have been successful in collaborating with Federico II University to support participants from different knowledge fields in sharing experiences and good practices that require collaborative activities.  Together, we highlighted a need to further foster collaboration across the quadruple helix of innovation to allow faster transfer of knowledge and solutions to benefit citizens, industry, government, and research community. This approach is in line with the WHO Council, that recently set out their plans to reorient economies to deliver health for all across four interrelated themes: 

            - Value - valuing and measuring what matters through new economic metrics;

            - Finance - how to finance health for all as a long-term investment, not a short-term cost;

            - Innovation - how to advance health innovation for the common good;

            - Capacity - how to strengthen dynamic public sector capacity to achieve health for all.

Importantly, the WHO adopted the European Union system of digital COVID-19 certification in June 2023 to create a global system that will facilitate cross-border mobility and safeguard people worldwide from present and potential health dangers, including pandemics.

The focus of this conference is to facilitate the adoption and implementation of the emerging strategic drivers for health and care transformation, through knowledge sharing on use cases and scenarios that are characterised by a strong interdisciplinary, inter-organizational approach to health, and provide opportunities for sustainable development across industrial sectors.
