Helsinki is the key capital for health innovation
Helsinki renews its commitment to health innovation with the Radical Health Festival – Three years of investments have strengthened Helsinki´s position as a key capital for health innovation. In 2023, the city is innovating again and creating a pan-European health festival where international key players in digital health will come together to create one of the largest health markets across: digital transformation, data fluidity, health and social care integration, mental health, healthy and active ageing, blended care delivery channels, AI, cybersecurity, climate health, innovation and entrepreneurship and precision health.
Radical Health Festival
“Finland is proud to give rise to the Radical Health Festival. We are among the leading countries in digitalization and innovation. The theme for the event, Radical Steps for a Healthy Future, is a strong call to action for everyone eager to respond to our future challenges. We believe in encounters. The best way to accelerate change, implement innovations and share the best concepts is to bring together people with ideas, knowhow, and a powerful mission”, says Päivi Sillanaukee, Ambassador for Health and Wellbeing at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.
Who is participating Radical Health Festival?
Many key content partners have already confirmed their participation in the Festival. including: CHiME, the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives, will offer their Clinical Informatics Leadership Boot Camp to CIOs, CCIOs, physicians and nurses; IANPHI, the International Association of National Public Health Institutes, will moderate a masterclass on health security and public health capacity building; ORCHA, the Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Apps, will provide guidance on evaluating and prescribing digital health solutions. The Festival´s full list of content contributors will be announced before the end of the year.
Sean Roberts, strategic partnership lead at éditohealth, applauds the collaboration efforts of the Festival partners: “We are delighted to support the Radical Health Festival. It´s refreshing to see leading digital health stakeholders and conference producers joining forces instead of competing in order to radically impact health and care in Europe.”
The Radical Health Festival also aims to become a vibrant marketplace for investors, buyers, and solution providers and will propose 4 ways for participants to connect: a pre-conference speed-dating platform, a demand-driven Solution Match service, a hosted buyer programme offering exclusive benefits to the participating buyers and investors, and a world’s leading event & networking app.

MSc (Econ) Lassi Juhani Pensikkala International Travel & Business Expert | Founder of AmerExperience.com
Lassi Juhani Pensikkala is the creator of AmerExperience.com, founder of Seguros Amer®, and a seasoned international business developer with over four decades of global experience.

"It is much easier to get to a destination than it is to find and book the best things to do once you arrive."
This core philosophy has driven his career since 1984. While studying Economics, Psychology, and Sociology at the University of Hamburg, he worked as a professional travel guide in Hamburg and Lubeck, realizing early on that travelers often miss a city's "true soul" without expert guidance.
Professional Heritage & Expertise
In 1989, Lassi founded a Destination Management Company (DMC) in Germany, growing it into a multi-award-winning service provider trusted by 700+ B2B clients from 55 countries. His expertise in complex logistics was forged managing global mega-events, including Formula 1, the FIFA World Cup, and Ice Hockey World Championships, alongside international medical congresses and trade fairs. Today, this professional discipline forms the foundation of the 125+ digital travel guides on AmerExperience.com. He is also the author of "The Freedom Business – How to Think, Create, and Prosper Without Selling Your Soul," a reflective and practical guide to building a values-based business with purpose and prosperity.

Life Philosophy
"Live freely, seek knowledge, and be open to the richness of life’s experiences." Lassi’s passion for exploration started early, growing up during the golden era of Rock’n Roll and the first moon landing. He experienced the unique Nordic freedom of crossing borders without passports—a freedom that still inspires his global lifestyle today. For him, true freedom means exploring new lands, embracing diverse cultures, and forming real connections with people around the world.
