European Projects Initiative at HIMSS26 Europe:

Catalysts for Healthcare Transformation

European projects propel advancements in medical research, healthcare delivery, and policy development by harnessing cutting-edge technologies, evidence-based practices, and cross-sector cooperation. And their impact goes beyond care quality and access—delivering tangible socio-economic benefits, reducing costs, and contributing to healthier populations across Europe.

The HIMSS26 European Projects Initiative honors European projects as vital engines of change, driving healthcare transformation across EU Member States, tackling complex health challenges, improving patient outcomes and enhancing the efficiency of healthcare systems through innovative collaborations and strategic partnerships in two main ways:

  • Connects EU-funded projects

    with healthcare systems and key stakeholders: policymakers, industry, healthcare professionals, and patients. Designed to increase visibility, build stronger networks, and shape future policy, the initiative supports the sustainable success of research and innovation efforts across Europe.

  • Serves as a horizontal accelerator

    to connect, amplify and strategically align the work of EU-funded projects with the EU’s broader digital transformation agenda. Beyond strengthening individual projects, it reinforces the structural role that European research and innovation must play in realising the promise of health data for all.

Be Part of the Change

Don’t miss this chance to be part of a transformative dialogue that will drive progress in healthcare policy, practice, and research. Experience the European Projects Initiative and so much more at HIMSS26 Europe.

  • Step into a dynamic hub of innovation

    Explore synergies, discover pioneering initiatives, and become part of a broader movement driving a more integrated, collaborative and impactful European healthcare ecosystem.

  • Join the European Projects Workshop

    Convening stakeholders for dialogue and co-creation, this initiative provides a collaborative space—both physical and intellectual—linking projects with ministries, patient groups, hospitals, health tech companies, and NGOs.

    The European Projects Workshop convenes attendees for a structured dialogue on co-creation and value delivery, involving representatives from the European Commission, Member States, domain experts, and project leads, who together form the Advisory Board.

  • Get up to speed with the 2025 European Projects Insight Report

    Capturing insights, outcomes, and forward-looking recommendations from across the European Projects initiative, the annual report is designed as a policy-facing and innovation-oriented resource. The 2025 report, Collaboration and Innovation for a Digital Health Future, captures the strategic vision, systemic barriers and transformative potential of twelve EU-funded initiatives–CYLCOMED, EDiHTA, ENTRUST, FLUTE, Gravitate-Health, IDERHA, MedSecurance, NEMECYS, ONCOVALUE, SHAIPED, TRUMPET and XiA. It serves both project consortia and decision-makers, offering actionable insights to foster collaboration, promote sustainability, and amplify long-term impact across the European healthcare ecosystem.
