Health Hub, the candidate European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) for the digital transformation of Health and Pharma, participated in the 85th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF). This year’s exhibition was to bring citizens closer to new digital services, technologies, innovations, and Greek production. With a mission to create a more digital future by leveraging the benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Health Hub could not be missing from such an important event.
Health Hub’s presence in the 9-day TIF events from 11 to 19 September 2021 was marked by complete success at the stands of the Region of Thessaly and the University of Thessaly. These days were full of business meetings and networking opportunities. The EDIH had the chance to communicate its innovative approach and critical mission.
However, to credit where credit’s due, Health Hub’s success is owed to the successful organization of the 85th Thessaloniki’s International Fair despite the adversities due to COVID-19.
The 85th TIF was a prime example that events of such scale can still take place while safeguarding the safety of visitors and participants alike. This event meant a lot for Greece as it showed the country’s commitment to its economic and technological future in many sectors, including Health.
