These parties are: Ministry of social affairs and health, Sitra, Business Finland, City of Helsinki, University of Helsinki, The Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa (HUS), Business Oulu, Turku Science Park and Messukeskus Helsinki, Expo and Convention Centre.

Finland – the leader in eHealth
eHealth era started 35 years ago when first hospital information systems were taken into use. Since then electronic services have become mainstream and already since several years ago all patient records are stored and shared electronically. According to international studies, Finland is one of the leading countries in eHealth. The national eHealth infrastructure is solid and gives possibility for further development.
The most recent eHealth service is the national personal health record storage that is offered free of charge for every citizen. It is also free for innovative companies who want to build new health or wellness related services. This is a unique concept in the world. For example, wearable monitor manufacturer can store data to this PHR system and citizen can forward it further to healthcare service provider.
With a world-class startup scene, highly educated people/workforce, and a unique and proven ecosystem that fosters R&D, Finland is one the best places to find new ideas and expand your business.
