Join Dr. Päivi Sillanaukee at e-health 2026: Bridging Finnish Innovation and the Canadian Ecosystem
The Embassy of Finland and Finland’s Ministry of Social Affairs and Health invites Finnish health tech companies and organizations to join an exclusive business delegation to Halifax, Nova Scotia, for e-health 2026 (June 14–16, 2026). Led by Dr. Päivi Sillanaukee, Special Envoy for Health, this delegation provides a high-level platform to engage with the Canadian market at a pivotal moment for digital transformation.
Why Join? The Convergence of e-health 2026 and the Nova Scotia ”Living Lab”
This visit offers a dual advantage: the national scale of Canada’s premier digital health conference and the unique, nimble entry point provided by the Nova Scotia Health ecosystem.
- High-Density Networking at e-health 2026: Spend three days at the Halifax Convention Centre with 1,400+ decision-makers. The conference is the primary gathering for CEOs, CMIOs, and government leaders from across all Canadian provinces—offering more ”collisions” with potential partners in 72 hours than months of independent travel.
- Access the ”Single Front Door” to Innovation: Halifax is home to the Nova Scotia Health Innovation Hub, a world-class model for streamlining how international technology is tested and adopted. Joining the delegation provides a coordinated pathway to meet the business development teams who act as the gatekeepers to clinical trials and system-wide implementation.
- Diplomatic Weight: Leverage the presence of Dr. Sillanaukee to join high-level meetings that are typically inaccessible to individual firms, positioning Finland as a strategic partner in Canada’s digital health future.
Visit Program Highlights & Potential Add-ons (TBC):
- The e-health Tradeshow & Huddles: Direct engagement on the floor with Canadian platform vendors and clinicians.
- Innovation Hub Briefing: A facilitated ”Deep Dive” into Nova Scotia’s procurement and pilot project pathways.
- Networking and Matchmaking: Networking with the local health ecosystem players
Conference Registration & Costs:
