Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) built on the successes of the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI). IHI is a European public-private partnership dedicated to advancing health research and innovation. The industry members of IMI are COCIR, EFPIA (including Vaccines Europe), EuropaBio and MedTech Europe, taking IHI beyond the pharmaceutical industry and bringing on board the medical technology, biotechnology, digital health and vaccine industries. IHI will support cross-sectoral projects involving the biopharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical technology sectors, including companies active in the digital area. By adopting an integrated, cross-sector approach, IHI will be well placed to have an impact on health research and healthcare, both of which are increasingly interdisciplinary in nature. IHI will also work more on disease prevention and on better understanding of the determinants of health and priority disease areas.
