Alumni Entrepreneurship, together with the ESADE Alumni Innovation Club and Health and Pharma Club, are organising this event, which seeks to offer the innovative visions and practices entrepreneurs are developing in the health sector. 

Different perspectives and initiatives will be presented to answer the question of: How to successfully innovate in the health sector? What are the key factors that distinguish this sector from other ones, from the point of view of innovation? What is it that makes a new entrepreneurial project successful in the health world? This session takes as its aim the presentation of and debate about the principal practical aspects of how to innovate and be entrepreneurial in the health sector.

The aim of the session is for four entrepreneurs, who have faced the challenge of launching innovative projects in the health sector, to present four case studies. In this way we will offer the audience five different perspectives on how to take advantage of the opportunities that the health world offers in the face of current challenges. Building on this there will be a debate to engage more deeply in the these entrepreneur-innovators’ vision of the keys factors for future change for the creation of new health.
