Numana is proud to announce a new international collaboration with the Health Tech Hub in Copenhagen, a major player in Europe’s digital health ecosystem. The aim of this alliance is to co-create innovative and inclusive solutions to improve the well-being of the elderly, based on the best practices and technologies developed in Quebec and Denmark.
Both countries face common challenges: a rapidly ageing population, staff shortages, pressure on front-line services, weakened mental health… all issues that require a bold, coordinated response. This partnership paves the way for the sharing of practical expertise, the co-construction of pilot projects, and the expansion of preventive care models centred on the real needs of end users.
A shared vision of digital health
The Copenhagen Health Tech Hub, a not-for-profit organisation, supports more than 260 digital health start-ups, including more than 30 that are actively engaged in their internationalisation. As the driving force behind an innovative ecosystem, it connects governments, businesses and research centres to encourage the adoption of large-scale technological solutions. It also influences decision-makers to ensure that the transformation of healthcare systems remains inclusive, sustainable and people-centred.
A collaboration aligned with Numana’s priorities
As co-leader of the LIV network, which brings together 15 innovation laboratories on ageing across Quebec, Numana sees this collaboration as a strategic opportunity. It will make it possible to test solutions in a variety of environments, encourage cross-sector dialogue, and amplify the impact of Quebec projects through international exposure.
An inspired look at the Danish system
Pascal Beauchesne, Numana’s Director of Preventive Health Projects, had the opportunity to gain an insider’s view of the Danish approach during his participation in the Copenhagen Health Tech Summit 2025. Denmark stands out with its healthcare system based on prevention, in which technology is used for early detection, citizen participation and proximity of services.
Their model is based on three pillars:
- A strong culture of education and awareness
- Individual responsibility for adopting healthy lifestyle habits
- And a central role for municipalities, which tailor their services to local needs.
But the most inspiring element remains the relationship of trust between institutions and citizens. A genuine social contract makes it possible to adopt preventive measures and make innovations accessible to all, whatever their age, origin or condition.
This partnership is fully in line with Numana’s mission: to act as a catalyst for innovative, inclusive solutions that are rooted in local communities. Together, we are building bridges between ecosystems to advance sustainable health, here and elsewhere.
