Health

The Future of Health Is More

For the health sector, “business as usual” is under assault. Patients are becoming customers, hospitals are being forced to think outside traditional frameworks, and providers are navigating increasingly complex and multifaceted systems across many industries – industries that previously complemented each other, and now compete. This trend is not merely a result of the growing impact of big data, AI and digitalization in general, but it is also due to the diligent incursion of especially tech companies into the health domain. Not surprisingly, given that the U.S. health industry's size eclipses sectors like the global advertising market by a factor of five – the foremost revenue-generator for tech giants like Google and Facebook.

The health space is not just healthcare; it is more.

It means traditional companies need to transition, innovate, and better understand this change to stay competitive and relevant. It means the biggest companies of the future will come from those who understand that the path to success will be a health-oriented hybrid across industries. It means healthcare must break traditions, and reinvigorate its horizons.

The largest export sector in Denmark, by a factor of four to the second largest, is the health industry. And it is increasing. Leveraging new technologies and this shift we see in the health space is paramount for Danish companies to imprint globally and to stay ahead.
