Sitra’s recent working paper (in Finnish) concluded five recommendations to ensure the advancement of the national Health Sector Growth Strategy for Research and Innovation roadmap. The paper identified the short-term strategic outlook and the lack of a shared vision of the future as our main near-term challenges. The will of the strategy still rests in its original, drawn up in 2014, fairly unfocused vision although the operating environment of the health sector has significantly changed due to digitisation and the increasing importance of health data.
Sitra is now working on the identified shortfall by drawing up a vision of the growth and competitiveness of the health sector that extends to 2030, together with health sector stakeholders. The purpose is to clarify our common vision; what we aim for in terms of the growth and competitiveness of the health sector in the year 2030. The vision could serve as our guide for measures in the coming years.
Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (CIFS), commissioned by Sitra, is facilitating the co-creation process towards the vision. CIFS will be drawing insights from interviews and four workshops, two online, and two onsite, with Finnish stakeholders to answer the question: Where does Finland wish to stand in 2030 in terms of the competitiveness of the health sector? The workshops will be carried out in November and the language of the workshops is English.
Two identical online workshops will be organised
The aim of the workshop is two-fold:
- to understand trends, directions, pain points and bottlenecks
- to identify opportunities towards 2030 and explore Finland’s unique offering on a global scale.
The workshop will be organised twice with the same content:
- Monday, 14 November at 13.00-15.30 EET
- Tuesday, 15 November at 13.00-15.30 EET
Please choose the date convenient for you when registering.
The workshop is a part of Sitra’s health ecosystem workshop series. It is aimed at decision-makers, researchers, companies, funders, public authorities, public entities, NGOs and other ecosystem actors in health sector, as well as others interested in the topic.
Using futures studies methodologies and tools, CIFS will facilitate a creative process. Participants will engage in different activities and imagine the future of the Finnish health sector together. Using exploratory and an outside-in perspective, the workshop activities will result in a comprehensive prioritisation of the opportunity space in the Finnish health sector.
