Are you a stakeholder in healthcare with an interest in innovation procurement? Then join the 2nd PiPPi webinar.

The webinar will present PiPPi. Who are its partners and stakeholders? Which unmet needs in healthcare have PiPPi and its stakeholders identified so far? What is a CoP and how is PiPPi going to build one? How could you participate? As an example of a successful CoP, the European Connected Health Alliance (ECHAlliance) is invited to present.
