SAGE HUB connects with Innovation Stakeholders at Panathenea
The SAGE HUB joined Panathēnea, the annual high-level event that brings together stakeholders from the fields of technology, innovation, entrepreneurship and culture from across Europe and beyond. Tthrough the active involvement of its Living Lab stakeholders, JOIST Innovation Park and the European Digital Innovation Hub Health Hub, SAGE HUB took part in a closed working group dedicated to health and innovation.
The session fostered dialogue, knowledge exchange and collaboration among key actors of the ecosystem. It provided an opportunity to introduce the project’s objectives and engage with stakeholders and companies that have already joined or expressed interest in the project’s activities.
Advancing Innovation Through Collaboration and Co-Creation
The working group focused on strengthening connections between innovation actors, healthcare-related organisations, companies and ecosystem representatives. Through this setting, SAGE HUB had the opportunity to further promote its Living Lab approach, which is based on collaboration, stakeholder engagement and the co-creation of practical solutions responding to real needs.
The participation of companies that have joined the project added significant value to the discussion, allowing the working group to explore concrete perspectives from the market and the wider innovation ecosystem. Their contribution supported an open exchange on challenges, opportunities and future collaboration pathways relevant to the SAGE HUB mission.
Expanding the SAGE HUB Ecosystem and Stakeholder Network
By being present in this context, SAGE HUB reinforced its commitment to building strong links between research, innovation, entrepreneurship and real-life implementation environments. The involvement of JOIST Innovation Park and Health Hub as Living Lab stakeholders played an important role in bringing the project closer to organisations and companies that can actively contribute to its development and impact.
The activity at Panathēnea marked another step in the project’s effort to create meaningful synergies, expand its stakeholder network and support the development of a dynamic ecosystem around health, innovation and collaborative transformation.
