As 2025 ended, so did the funding period for the Horizon Europe project, SHIFT-HUB. Over the past three years, Steinbeis Europa Zentrum has united stakeholders from across Europe’s health ecosystem – innovation intermediaries, entrepreneurs, technology providers, healthcare practitioners, policymakers, patients, and citizens – to create a thriving Smart Health Community, driving innovation, fostering collaboration, and accelerating the adoption of transformative technologies and services in healthcare.
