The VALO – Value from Nordic health data project concludes in October 2026. Over the course of the project, VALO has demonstrated the feasibility of cross-border federated health data analysis and laid important groundwork for the future use of health data across borders.

As the project enters its final phase, a webinar series is bringing together stakeholders from across the Nordics and Baltics to explore how collaboration in the secondary use of health data can build on VALO’s achievements and continue beyond the project.

The Nordic countries have a unique opportunity to become the world’s leading region for health data-driven research, innovation and evidence generation. In this webinar, IQVIA will share insights from VALO pilots on enabling secure cross-border use of health data through federated analysis and secure processing environments (SPEs).

Together, we will explore how these learnings can be scaled and leveraged across the Nordic region. What capabilities do the Nordic countries already share? Where do common challenges remain? And what actions are needed to strengthen the region’s attractiveness for international research, clinical development, and health innovation investments?

Key discussion topics include:

  • Key outcomes and lessons learned from VALO
  • Opportunities to create a more connected Nordic health data ecosystem
  • Gaps and capability-building priorities to enhance competitiveness for research and innovation
  • Strategies to attract life sciences companies, researchers, and innovators to utilise Nordic health data assets
  • The role of public-private collaboration in accelerating data access, evidence generation, and healthcare innovation

This webinar is part of a series highlighting developments and opportunities for cross-border health data collaboration across the Nordic and Baltic countries.
