A trip to the world’s healthiest and happiest city: Copenhagen for BIO-Europe 2018

On the windy streets of Copenhagen, children, young adults, and older people are all on bikes, with parents and their children on cargo bikes (a quarter of families in Copenhagen own one). It may look as though Copenhageners crave the outdoors, get a kick out of exercise, want to be fit and healthy. It may or may not be the reason. Maybe, it’s just the easiest way to get anywhere.

Admiring all this and more, we at InnovatioCuris, attended the 24th Annual International partnering conference BIO-Europe 2018. BIO-Europe, scheduled for 5th – 7th November 2018 in Copenhagen, Denmark, a pre-eminent conference for the life sciences, is Europe’s largest partnering conference that serves the global biotechnology industry. It brought together the thought leaders and international decisionmakers from the whole healthcare sector including biotechnology, pharmaceutical, investors and policymakers, offering networking opportunities, workshops & panel discussions, high profile exhibition and B2B meetings. It provided an excellent networking platform for strategic partnerships.

InnovatioCuris supported the event as a media sponsor with focus on networking through B2B meetings and exhibition, along with the aim of strengthening its ecosystem with innovative partners in order to bring down the healthcare delivery cost and improve the quality of care.

It was an exceptional experience coupled with reinforcing existing partnerships and scouting new stakeholders / global experts in the healthcare space.

We came back home with warm memories and new friends. We look forward to creating an impact together by fostering innovations in the health sector.

Innovation is the New Buzz Word

InnoHEALTH Magazine — Mon, 08 Oct 2018 10:58:15 +0000

Innovation has become a buzzword for every sector and similarly, the next buzz would be Hackathon, many without knowing the meaning of these words tend to use it to show their updated knowledge. My perception regarding health sector is to use innovation for reducing healthcare delivery cost keeping quality and benefit at the last mile and bottom of Pyramid. It is to provide the solution to the pain of patients and providers to streamline many processes. The use of technology to achieve this aim and to foster innovation is needed. AI, the blockchain, cyber security – technology terms – are in vogue to be spoken by many without understanding them.

The bringing out of Innovation does not need qualification, experience but idea and passion to do it. There are many success stories of such innovations where young school students have brought out miraculous innovations. These innovators need only hand-holding, mentorship and resources. The innovator need not be an entrepreneur as they exit many times for want of capital to scale-up.

The ecosystem created is best at present for innovators due to many initiatives placed by the Government. There is a need to put all the information in one booklet because the number of schemes from different ministries is available and many of these are not known to people in the arena of innovation. We have evolved in the last four years to greater heights because of constant endeavor from the government as well as our partners.

The idea of creating this magazine is sharing of experience of each other and providing a platform to publicize good work of innovators to the global community of 38,000 people with whom this electronic and print magazine is shared. We have published stories of grassroots innovators, InnoHEALTH executive editor Mr. Sachin Gaur traveled to Nagaland for two-weeks to find innovators in the interiors. This is a very interesting time for innovators who are ready to take the risk can only succeed.

I would like to urge all innovators to use knowledge platform created by us to disseminate and share information through international InnoHEALTH conference which also has young innovators’ award, B2B meetings, meet-ups, master classes, InnoHEALTH magazine, innovators’ club, webinars, training, and workshops, and planned study tours in 2019. These activities are under Pvt. Ltd. company InnovatioCuris (IC) means innovation in curing a Latin word which also has an extended arm that is not-for-profit called IC Foundation of Healthcare and Excellence (ICFHE).

Our journey is just three years old but has grown because of support of our ecosystem, partners and advisors. We would like to have regular feedback to make it better and achieve our vision of “Healthcare delivery to all at optimum cost with quality”. Let us join hands to make India a healthy nation-leading way for many countries, even developed ones looking for frugal and reverse innovations from India.

A booster shot for innovations in India

InnoHEALTH in Bengaluru October 2017

Handholding Innovative companies from EU for Indian Market Access: A day well spent in Bengaluru. Sachin Gaur spells out the details of the magical meeting between the two sides opening doors for a brighter and fruitful future.

InnovatioCuris, IC in partnership with NovoJuris and with support of Honorary Consul of Estonia in Bengaluru, Karnataka Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Manufacturers’ Association, (KDPMA) organized the Bengaluru leg of InnoHEALTH conference followed by B2B meetings.

When in the planning stages of the delegation visit we were strongly advised by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India to include Bengaluru in our itinerary. As you know Bengaluru is probably the center of all the action in the country when it comes to biotech industry.

So, we looked at a stakeholder approach considering that many of the companies/delegates were to visit India for the first time. We realized that the main stakeholders for such a visit would be experts on Indian health sector, distribution channel experts, investors and legal experts.

Since, Estonia was our country partner we reached out to the Honorary Consul in Bengaluru who further connected us with KDPMA and other industry bodies. We, also, partnered with NovoJuris given their expertise in legal matters and strong interest in the health sector. The whole program was put together in partnership with a strong collaboration of the IC and the NovoJuris team.

The Bengaluru visit was planned for 21st of September 2017 with the first half of sessions with experts in the areas identified. The session about Indian health sector was delivered by Dr. V C Shanmugandan from Association of Private Hospitals of India and Ms. Swetha Suresh from Swissnex. The legal session was delivered by various experts of the NovoJuris team. The investor session saw experts from Accel Partners and PWC. The distribution session was run by officials of KDPMA, Mr. Sunil Attavar and Mr. Harish Jain.

Post lunch and evening sessions were reserved for the B2B meeting followed by cocktails, where various business leaders interested in partnering with the EU companies engaged the delegates. The EU delegation was very happy with the quality of the conference and the contacts made during the B2B sessions. It was a good learning experience for us as well to bring the stakeholders together and we gear up to do it again in 2018!

“To share some positive facts about the Indian Pharma Industry: We are the most economical medicine manufacturer in the world; India is the third largest producer in volume and 10th largest in business globally; Thirty percent of US requirements are catered by Indian pharma manufacturers; We export to almost 200 countries in the world; One out of the three pills consumed in the world is from India. And all this has been achieved in the last 30 years when Indian government came out with Pharma policy in 1986.”

“India has been on the forefront of providing some of the leading medical facilities that are uniquely innovative and ingenious. Indian pharma industry has gone beyond molecular contributions and is in fact manufacturing some ground breaking gadgets and machines that contribute to curing people from extreme ailments like the heart and lung diseases, transplants and coronary diseases. Of course pricing is an issue that is faced by the industry and the irony is that despite the price being much cheaper than the international market, it still remains out of the reach.”

A voice to raise concern about the increasing cost of health and medical facilities was given a platform at the two-day InnoHEALTH 2017 that was hosted on September 18th and 19th in the capital. In the second year of its running, the event was co-hosted by InnovatioCuris and Indiattitude that extended a stage for innovations in the field of health and medicine.

Addressing the large gathering of doctors and high-profile professionals from the industry, Dr V.K. Singh, the visionary behind this event conveyed that the prime objective of this mega event is to contribute towards bringing down the healthcare delivery cost yet maintaining the quality.

InnoHEALTH 2017 helped in doing so by creating deliberations among policy makers, industry and academia on topics linked with Innovations in Hospitals, diagnostics, medical devices, pharma, biotech, digital healthcare and new delivery models.

The conference saw an attendance of around 250 Delegates with an overwhelming response of 170 on the very first day including 50 elite speakers from all over the world.

It was followed by discussions on Healthcare Beyond Hospitals; Innovations in the Pharma Sector; Digital Health: Giving birth to new delivery models and fostering innovations, finally followed by Challenges and Redefining Healthcare Landscape.

The last two sessions of the day opened a very important chapter in the field of innovations in health sector. Indian and international companies were given a platform to make their pitch claiming the coveted Innovations titles. The finale was the dispensing of Young Innovations Awards.

Overwhelmed by the encouraging response this year, the organizers announced the dates for the next InnoHEALTH 2018, to take place on 5th – 6th October 2018, with a raised hope to come back next year keeping shared goals in healthcare with only, bigger, better and meatier roles for all stakeholders.

[vc_cta h2=””]His Excellency Riho Kruuv; Estonian Ambassador to India
I am very proud to be representative of Estonia as Country Partner for this conference on Innovations in Health Care because Estonia is a country that is all about innovations and fast adaptation of new technology. Estonia did not invent internet but we use it to the maximum especially in the health care society. In fact, in 26 years since independence, we have now become a digital society.“[/vc_cta][vc_cta h2=””]Dr V.K. Singh
Innovation is not very old. Despite that Public Health is the most curative neglected area as most doctors do not wish to go in that direction. Most prefer to work in the preventive medication that is more lucrative and appeals to most, even to the students, much before they even become qualified doctors.[/vc_cta]
