Combining Finnish unique health data with the extensive ICT expertise, lively start-up environment, and established capabilities in medtech and engineering, provide a strong basis for the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital health solutions. This innovation ecosystem and the fact that Germany decided to intensify its coordinated digitalization efforts opens opportunity for Finnish digital health companies to enter German market right now.
