Welcome to the Team Finland visit focusing on digital health to Paris on 28-30 January 2026. The visit is led by Ms. Päivi Sillanaukee, Special Envoy for Health & Wellbeing, Ministry for Social Affairs and Health
France, the second-largest market in the EU, is rapidly advancing in healthcare digitalization. Backed by a national strategy and major investments, the demand is growing for AI and data-driven solutions and other technologies that enhance prevention, care coordination, diagnostics, and remote care, in order to address key public health challenges — such as chronic diseases, an aging population, and unequal access to care.
The visit is an excellent opportunity to familiarize with the French healthcare system and its progress in digitalization, gain insights on the market dynamics, demand and business opportunities, while exploring pathways for entering the French market. Finnish companies will have the opportunity to engage with potential customers, partners, and key decision-makers — strengthening their networks for future collaboration.
Who should attend?
This delegation visit is tailored for Finnish digital health solution and medical device providers, and digital health research institutes, who are interested in exploring the French market or already have business in France and are looking to gain insights on the local healthcare system and market, expand their network and start or develop their business in France.
