The Health data 2030 project creates solutions, draws up rules and builds a bridge for the cross-border use of health data in Europe.

What?

Markus has a Master’s degree in technology and has been engaged in digitisation projects in the private and public sectors. With his experience as an entrepreneur and an EU official, he understands both practice and the directives.

What else?

Markus wants to make his mark both on the running path and in society. In his opinion the world is filled with good principles and beliefs but they do not materialise often enough. He forgets all this though when he plays with his two daughters. This reminds him of whose future Sitra works for.
