Health and wellbeing webinar: New smart and sustainable hospitals in Sweden
Sweden is going through a phase of dramatic demographic change with both growing urban population and growing elderly population in the upcoming years, which will have heavy impacts on the structure and operations of the Swedish Healthcare. In the government investigation Effektivvård (SOU 2016:2) commissioned by the Swedish Ministry of Health and Social Affairs there is a need for a primary care reform with the aim of restructuring the healthcare system that has historically been centered on the regional hospitals. Essentially by reallocation basic operations to the primary care centers and to home care, while modernizing the hospitals into specialized care, deeply interlinked with research similar to university hospitals.
Agreed investments in Modernization, Expansions and New Constructions, are €10 billion (by March 2020, according to Business Sweden). In the near future, there are 43 projects planned to start in 2020-2022 estimated to €3.2 billion, and out of these 23 are New Constructions, estimated to €2.5 billion. These investments have a clear focus on smart and sustainable solutions, thus it is time for companies to engage in these opportunities.
Sustainable healthcare comprises several features within healthcare and hospitals and is one of the Nordic Strongholds reported in a study financed by Nordic Innovation. With massive investments into this sector in the Nordics and globally there is a large and growin business opportunity for Swedish companies that together with Finnish companies can create even more attractive offers. Joint to learn more and connect.
Following the high-level plenary session Business Finland will organize an exciting workshop to provide deeper insights on this business opportunity in the Swedish healthcare market. After the webinar, the Swedish participants are invited to connect with the Finnish companies in the delegation in 1-2-1 discussions
