The international GAINH Summit is a collaboration between EXCITE International and Health Innovation Netherlands (HI-NL). The summit aims to provide international insights for innovators, companies, academia, healthcare providers, payers, guideline organisations, notified bodies, FDA, MDR experts, and healthcare policy makers, regarding the local and global evaluation, market access, implementation, upscaling and reimbursement of health(care) technologies.

The summit will cover the entire range of health(care) technology including robotics, implants, medical tests, eHealth and AI algorithms. The summit provides unique opportunities to hear from and meet with senior leaders coming from all stakeholder organisation involved in this health technology adoption process, both from the U.S. and  Europe. 

The summit aims to unravel existing and persistent confusion and misunderstanding that surrounds the evaluation and adoption process of health(care) technology on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. You can expect to hear about new initiatives, recent and horizon. And collaboration opportunities that are intended to streamline the pathway from idea and technology prototype to implementation, upscaling and reimbursement, through early direct engagement with key stakeholders in the health technology development cycle. The summit will offer invaluable insights into how to get European technologies into U.S. markets, how to get U.S. technologies into Europe and how to get technologies into their own countries.

You will hear directly from experts and companies that have successfully participated in and used the EXCITE International and HI-NL processes to expedite their healthcare technology development, evaluation and implementation process. As examples of a comprehensive  and well-informed approach, that ensures earlier access by patients and civilians to impactful technologies and reduces the high risk of downstream rejection by payers of regulatory-approved technologies.

Gain insight and connections to:

 The innovation to adoption pathway
The changes coming to the US and European Regulator Agencies
 The importance of engaging with important stakeholders in healthcare
Setting-up partnerships between payers, industry and patients
 The new approaches in clinical trials
The effectiveness and fundability of innovations
 The development of a Transatlantic innovation ecosystem where public and private stakeholders work together to improve the global access to health innovations
 Having a voice in the discussion on the barriers, but also the facilitators of the regulatory and procurement policies and processes
