Philips joins Radical Health Festival Helsinki 2026 to advance precision health dialogue

Radical Health Festival Helsinki 2026 takes place from 19 to 21 January at Messukeskus. The festival is Europe’s Premier Festival for Health & Care and is co-curated with the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and the City of Helsinki. The 2026 theme, Operationalising Precision Health, focuses on how precision, prevention and data-driven care are being implemented in real-world health systems.

Philips brings its perspective as a global health technology company working across the full continuum of care, from hospital settings to the home. Philips’ focus on patient- and people-centric innovation, clinical insight and data-enabled solutions closely aligns with the festival’s emphasis on translating innovation into practical, scalable impact for health systems.

“Health systems are under growing pressure to deliver better outcomes for more people in an increasingly complex environment,” said Juha Impilä, Managing Director Nordics at Philips. “At Philips, our purpose is to deliver better care for more people, and precision health is an important enabler of that ambition. By combining data, technology and deep clinical insight, we work with health systems to support meaningful improvements across the continuum of care. Radical Health Festival Helsinki is an important forum to collaborate with policymakers and partners on translating this ambition into system-level impact.”

Building on previous editions that brought together participants from 35+ countries, the festival will welcome international delegations from ministries, regions, hospitals and public health authorities, alongside innovators, startups, investors and industry leaders. Radical Health Festival Helsinki is designed as a collaborative space where policy dialogue, practical sessions and structured interaction support implementation-focused exchange.
