The Future Health Lab is the new innovation centre for the healthcare of the future.

Here, since 2023, active players of the Austrian healthcare system have been developing joint solutions for key challenges that no organisation can tackle alone. Public institutions, leading companies, interest groups and patient organisations, healthcare professionals, innovators and research institutions come together in new collaboration formats – unbureaucratically, in a protected space and on an equal footing.

The initial focus of the multi-stakeholder programmes is on the optimisation of patient pathways, the health of citizens in different environments and the design of the hospital of the future. We always ask questions instead of thinking things through at our desks: Users are involved in every innovation process right from the start. This is how innovation reaches people.

The Future Health Lab is run in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection and the Austrian Health Insurance Fund, as well as together with the Impact Hub. Within walking distance of Vienna Central Station, the Future Health Lab offers more than 500m² of space for quality events – such as hybrid conferences, productive co-creation sessions, relaxed networking evenings and much more.
