HealthEConnect Pilot Showcased at Nova SBE Discovery Week

On August 28, 2024, the HealthEConnect team presented the Health Innovation Specialization to incoming Master in Impact Entrepreneurship and Innovation (MIEI) students at Nova SBE. This year’s intake includes 139 students from over 25 countries, who will have the option to choose the Health Innovation Specialization as part of their studies.

The specialization aims to:

  • Equip students with interdisciplinary skills in entrepreneurship, technology, healthcare, management, and innovation;
  • Provide a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare innovation sector;
  • Cover fundamental concepts addressing major health challenges such as aging, nutrition, and chronic diseases;
  • Foster connections within the European healthcare innovation ecosystem.

The 2024/2025 curriculum has been updated to include two additional electives for specialization students: Economics of Health & Health Care and Economics of Health Systems.

A standout feature of the specialization is the Work Project in Health Innovation, undertaken by each student in their final semester. Through this project, students can develop their own health innovation initiative, participate in a field lab, or conduct applied research.
