Kuopio Health Insights 2023 (KHI 2023) is about experiencing firsthand how a relatively small yet incredibly dedicated and collaborative ecosystem has blossomed into a powerful, data-driven innovation magnet within the health and wellness sector in Finland – and how it is leading the digital health transformation and creating positive health outcomes for people in Finland and beyond.

Kuopio Health Insights 2023 will concentrate on clinical trials in stroke, health & data analysis and industrial solutions. This two day event on August 20-21, is organized in connection with Nordic Stroke Congress 2023.

Day one, August 20, offers a unique and relaxing networking opportunity aboard in a traditional scenic Kuopio boat cruise on beautiful Lake Kallavesi from 4PM to 6PM. The actual seminar will take place on day two (August 21). The event will culminate with a special dinner at Luoto Kuopio in the beautiful harbor of Kuopio with a wonderful lakeland view at 7PM.

Kuopio Health is backed by multi-disciplinary and trusted private and public organisations with high competence in business, international expertise, R&D and research excellence.

At Kuopio Health Insights 2023 you will meet many of the region’s key players. Our cooperative innovation ecosystem provides access to data, knowledge, projects and capabilities within our network, allowing participants to forge valuable partnerships, find new insights, and bridge any of the typical barriers that tend to block progress.
