HealthEConnect Wraps Up — But Its Legacy Lives On

The HealthEConnect project has officially come to a close — but one of its most impactful achievements is here to stay.

Developed within the framework of the project, the Health Innovation Specialization — part of the Master’s in Impact Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Nova SBE, in collaboration with Nova Medical School — will continue beyond the project’s lifetime. This hands-on learning journey, which allowed students to work on real health challenges alongside startups, mentors, and ecosystem actors across Europe, will now welcome a new edition in September 2025.

Thanks to HealthEConnect, this specialization became a living lab for experimentation, entrepreneurship, and collaboration in health innovation. It brought together academia and the innovation ecosystem, giving students the tools and support to co-create meaningful solutions — and it’s just the beginning.

🎓 As the project ends, the mission carries on through this specialization. A new cohort of changemakers is getting ready to join — and we’re excited to see how they’ll take this forward.
