We welcome you to join a Team Finland visit to Milan, Italy on 10 - 12 May, 2023.
The Italian healthcare system is in transition and there is a need to re-think the entire health care system;
- digitalization as enabler
- how to collect and use data to improve health care processes

Italy and Finland have complementary expertise and competences and the Team Finland network has identified ways to connect Italian and Finnish companies and stakeholders. This 3-day visit to Milan gives an interesting opportunity for Finnish companies to meet with potential Italian clients, partners and key stakeholders.
