Informal Thursday bar with Sundhedsdatastyrelsen

Health data access remains one of the most persistent bottlenecks in Danish health tech – shaped by processing times, complex pathways, and limited visibility into what’s even available. Digital Health Denmark, the new national body pulling these capabilities together, is just now taking shape.

Why attend
This is your chance to put questions directly to the person overseeing the system from the inside. Jesper Juel-Helwig, Deputy Director at Digital Health Denmark, opens the floor – no slides, no script. What data exists, how it can be accessed, why processes have taken this long, and what’s changing.

Who it’s for
Founders and leadership at health tech startups working with – or wanting to work with – Danish health data, tired of guessing their way through the system.

Format
An informal Thursday afternoon bar for members and ecosystem partners, centred on an open Ask Me Anything with Jesper. Bring your honest challenges, your curiosity, and your appetite for conversation.

Healthcare Catalyst: Region of Eastern Denmark


Getting time with a hospital’s innovation lead usually takes months of cold outreach and a fair amount of luck. This afternoon in central Copenhagen, Copenhagen Municipality, Region Zealand, Bispebjerg Hospital, North Zealand Hospital, and Rigshospitalet are all in the room, sharing their priorities directly.

Why attend
Providers share their strategic approach to innovation, current priorities, and where past partnerships have worked, then take your questions directly in ask-me-anything breakouts. It’s a first-hand look at each other’s priorities, needs, and collaboration potential – not a one-way pitch. If your solution fits a stated need, apply for a pre-matched 1:1 with real potential for a pilot or partnership.

Who it’s for
Health tech companies looking to build relationships with Region of Eastern Denmark’s hospitals and municipalities – especially if your solution fits a need they’ve named.

Format
A two-part afternoon: a joint session open to all members, no application needed, where providers share their priorities, followed by ask-me-anything breakouts with each one and networking.
A curated round of pre-matched 1:1s follows for companies whose solution fits a stated need – providers share their priorities with us upfront, and we do the matching. Applications for a 1:1 close 5 October.
