Date:

Wed, Apr. 15 '26

Time:

14:00 - 16:00

Location:

Hack Kampmanns Plads 2, 8000 Aarhus

How does the Danish healthcare reform look from inside the system?

What currently occupies the regions and municipalities? And what does it mean for collaboration, priorities and the development of new solutions across the healthcare ecosystem?

Health Innovation Aarhus invites stakeholders from the Central Denmark health innovation ecosystem to an open dialogue event. The event is relevant for actors across municipalities, the region, companies, knowledge and educational institutions as well as other partners working with health and innovation.

On 15 April, you will hear directly from Regional Council Chair Anders G. Christensen (Central Denmark Region), Councillor Metin Lindved Aydin (City of Aarhus), as well as Jonas Dahl (Central Denmark Region) and Christian Boel (City of Aarhus), who will share their perspectives on what currently shapes the work with the healthcare reform in practice.

The event begins with a political welcome from Region Midtjylland and Aarhus Municipality. This will be followed by insights from key representatives from the region and municipality, who will share perspectives on how the healthcare reform currently looks from inside the system.

The aim is to create a shared understanding of:

what currently shapes the work with the healthcare reform
which dilemmas and priorities influence decisions behind the scenes
how the reform affects collaboration, innovation and development across actors in the healthcare ecosystem
