Our Head of Tehnopol HealthTech, Merilin Varsamaa served on the high-level Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region, contributing to the development of this a groundbreaking strategy: The Innovation Agenda for Public Health 2025–2030. By advancing public health innovation and sharing best practices, the Technical Advisory Group members have played a crucial role in shaping the Agenda.
Together with an inspiring group of global experts, they identified four “mega shifts” that will shape the future of health innovation: 1) Mission-driven partnerships;  2) Ethical, inclusive digital/data infrastructure; 3) Healthcare workforce empowerment; 4) Realigned incentives for public-private collaboration in public health.

The Innovation agenda for public health in the WHO European Region 2025–2030 is a strategic blueprint developed to accelerate transformative innovation across public health systems in the Region. The Agenda responds to converging demographic, epidemiological, environmental and technological challenges that demand urgent, systemic change through innovation. It identifies four high-impact “mega shifts”, each targeting key barriers and opportunities for health innovation. These shifts prioritize mission-driven partnerships, ethical and inclusive data digital infrastructure, workforce empowerment and the realignment of incentives to ensure that public and private sector efforts are coordinated for maximum health impact, equity and sustainability. The Agenda provides actionable guidance for policy-makers, health authorities and partners, supporting the implementation of the European Programme of Work 2025–2030 and positioning the Region to achieve measurable improvements in health outcomes, system resilience and equity for all populations.
