Healthcare

Why it's a focus for innovation:

• Aging population → drastically increasing need for healthcare services.
• Rising healthcare costs → innovation is needed to reduce costs and promote healthier lifestyles (telemedicine, AI diagnostics, wearable health).
• Surge in biological technologies: genomics, personalized medicine, biotech, AI drug discovery.
• The pandemic has changed mindsets: healthcare is no longer a "supplementary" sector, but a global hub for innovation.
