Roundtable in San Francisco
Exclusive luncheon & roundtable discussion on public-private innovation partnerships between North America & Denmark
The roundtable discussion will focus on opportunities within Medical AI and Automated Health – two areas of significant growth and innovation. The Danish government and university hospitals are keen to enter in dialogue with innovative US companies in order to discuss potential partnerships.
The lunch will begin with short presentations by:
- Copenhagen Academy of Medical Education and Simulation (CAMES) at Copenhagen
University Hospital - Centre for Clinical Robotics (CCR) at Odense University Hospital and University of
Southern Denmark.
Following these presentations, we will facilitate a dialogue around specific opportunities, unique capabilities in Denmark and how a partnership can accelerate new innovation and market growth.
