From Fragmentation to System: Building HealthTech in Ukraine Together
About the Event
The Ukrainian healthcare system has unique potential: a strong engineering base, high adaptability, and real demand shaped by wartime conditions. This is a solid foundation for building a world-class HealthTech market.
At the same time, startups struggle to scale, clinics fail to implement new solutions, and the regulatory environment remains unpredictable. The problem isn’t a lack of innovation. It’s the absence of a system that transforms innovations into tangible patient outcomes.
We are bringing together those who can make a difference — to synchronize visions, openly discuss systemic blockers, and agree on next steps.
A working meeting for representatives of the state, healthcare providers, startups, and international partners will serve as a space for honest conversation and concrete solutions.
