WHINN – Week of Health and Innovation 2024 strengthened with sparring from new advisory board
When around 600 participants from Denmark and abroad check-in for the 10th WHINN – Week of Health and Innovation in October, new forces joined the planning of the knowledge festival. Meet the new WHINN advisory board here.
For nine years, the knowledge festival WHINN has gathered knowledge from the entire health sector in one place. The 10th edition of the festival in 2024 will be an even stronger meeting place for companies, knowledge institutions, hospitals, municipalities and others with an interest in creating a sustainable health sector. A new advisory board will help ensure this. The group has just been assembled and is ready with the first ideas for developing WHINN – Week of Health and Innovation.
– With the advisory board, we want to gather important players in the Southern Danish ecosystem and jointly support WHINN – Week of Health and Innovation. The advisory board must ensure a higher degree of involvement and ownership from the represented organizations. And we hope that WHINN can remain an important meeting place for companies, knowledge institutions, hospitals and municipalities, etc. nationally and inspire internationally, says Jane Nøhr, Head of Unit at Danish Life Science Cluster.
