Innovation and Prevention
The Lifetech Cluster is committed to promoting and supporting innovative solutions that aim to sustainably improve access to prevention and quality of life for all residents of Brussels. Join us to discover how we are shaping the future of health and well-being in the Belgian capital.
Today, Prevention Holds a Growing Importance
Understanding, preparing for, and shaping the future of prevention is crucial. Across Europe, businesses and public authorities play a vital role in advancing health promotion.
Although essential for strengthening the resilience of the healthcare system, the prevention sector remains underdeveloped. According to the OECD and the European Commission, preventable hospitalizations for chronic diseases such as asthma, COPD, and diabetes could be reduced through prevention efforts. Similarly, cancer mortality can be effectively addressed through prevention and screening programs.
However, the major challenge lies in the complexity of demonstrating and measuring the outcomes of prevention, which can make it difficult to develop a robust business model.
If you have an innovation project in the field of health prevention, the lifetech.brussels cluster can connect you with a community of dedicated prevention stakeholders, including academics, experts, businesses, mutual insurance companies, investment funds, doctors, healthcare professionals, associations, and more.
