Top performance, regardless of industry, goes hand in hand with recognition. If voted by the Swiss National Council in September, the "sustainable enterprise" legal status would provide well-earned recognition for the Swiss companies that walk the talk on sustainability. 👉 Read about the parliamentary initiative on "sustainable enterprises" here: https://lnkd.in/dRNwPxHr #ecorobotics #sustainableenterprise #Durabilité #Soutenabilité #Innovation #entreprisedurable #PME #SME

In a rapidly changing #RegulatoryLandscape, the ability of companies to research, track and comply with new #environmental and product-specific regulatory requirements is becoming increasingly challenging. On 1 January 2023, #France implemented Article 13 of the Anti-Waste for a #CircularEconomy (#AGEC) law. This law aims to change the production methods of companies and the consumption patterns of consumers. This Article requires producers to inform consumers about the environmental qualities and characteristics of certain products and packaging - such as the proportion of recycled material, recyclability, presence of hazardous substances, and rare earth or precious metals content. As is always the case with #TransformationalChange, it is important to recognise and embrace the opportunities that this presents to #CreateValue. Our experts in dss+ highlighted the top 3 opportunities to #FutureProof your business. Learn more by reading this article: https://lnkd.in/d5K3YdjX

Our Economic and Commercial Representation of the Wallonia Export & Investment Agency in Zagreb is organising a Multi-Sectoral Economic Mission to #Zagreb (#Croatia), from the 7th to the 9th of October, 2024. The Republic of Croatia remains a strong and alluring, sensible market which remains fairly resilient to external factors and enables investors to keep finding viable answers to ever-growing challenges. The country’s regional positioning in addition to its competitive and accessible higher education makes it a valuable source of regionally active industry hubs. Since the last Multi-Sectoral Economic Mission to the Balkans, fields of interest within the critical infrastructure sector; with accent on the renewable energy and green construction, security and defence industry, ICT, raw-material industry, pharmaceutical and chemical industries; are some of the most propulsive sectors of the Croatian economy, as their continuous growth is distancing Croatia farther from its historical struggles and is positioning Croatia in front of the biggest global investors. Discover the strengths and promising sectors of Croatia https://lnkd.in/exBrwj-U and join the delegation of Walloon companies to Croatia. Participants can register for the Mission following the instructions on the provided link.

"What's new in healthcare innovation globally?" I had the pleasure to share my thoughts on this topic at the annual event in Paris hosted by La Poste Santé & Autonomie, which brought together the entire French #healthcare and #healthTech ecosystem. Thank you florence dupre and Olivier Barets for the invitation, and appreciation to my fellow panelists: . François BRAUN: Former Minister of Social Affairs and Health of #France . stephane pierrefitte: Deputy General Director at the University Hospital Group (Psychiatry & Neurosciences) . Hélène GUIMIOT: Head of the Health Service in the Legal Support Department of the French data protection authority (CNIL) . Kathy Malas: Director of Research, Innovation, and Learning at CISSS Montérégie-Ouest, Quebec. Special thanks to Dominique Pon, CEO of La Poste Santé & Autonomie for the great moderation (and great event). The key points of my presentations in a nutshell: The NHS, a cornerstone of British pride, is in crisis according to Lord Darzi's 2024 report (published in Sep 24) Key findings show 33% of Britons now wait over a week for GP appointments, compared to 16% in 2021. Bupa has responded by offering a subscription model for primary care: £17/month for same-day teleconsultations or £22/month for in-person visits, raising concerns about a potential two-tier system. Following the publication of the report, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer aims to transition the NHS to a digital system. There are already promising initiatives within the NHS like the 42 Integrated Care Systems (ICS) and the GP Practice Improvement Program, which has replaced 30% of face-to-face visits with text consultations. AI could also play a crucial role, with most NHS staff supporting its use in patient care (76%) and administration (81%). Four key #AI archetypes include: 1️⃣ Non-clinical AI for consumers/patients AI-based care navigation, seen with US companies like Transcarent or UnitedHealth Group's Find Care & Costs tool. 2️⃣ Clinical AI for consumers/patients AI predictive models intercepting disease through blood analysis (e.g., Function Health, Aware) or imaging (e.g., Neko Health). 3️⃣ Clinical AI for health professionals AI Clinical Decision Support (AI-CDS), especially in radiology (75% of FDA approved AI-CDS), but also beyond with companies like Tempus AI in AI-oncology. 4️⃣ Non-clinical AI for healthcare professionals AI-enhanced administrative management (like Ambient AI, ...), likely to see the fastest adoption in the short term. Three potential winners in the AI healthcare transformation: Epic: Aiming to orchestrate AI in hospitals with its App Store Showroom. Mayo Clinic: Already using 70+ AI algorithms and developing the Mayo Clinic Platform_Connect, a data hub connecting major hospitals for AI model training. La Poste Santé & Autonomie: An innovative public player acting as a trusted intermediary between healthcare systems, industry, and regulators to implement new models of care.
