Health Data Sweden - Next Level

2026-07-22

Health Data Sweden - Next Level aims to consolidate Health Data Sweden (HDS) to facilitate the digitalisation of the healthcare sector with AI innovations. Through a bottom-up approach, HDS has built a tightly integrated set of services for both Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Public Sector Organisations that break traditional regional and organisational boundaries and reach a wide range of stakeholders. HDS received an excellent judgement from the national managing authority after 24-month reporting, and a positive half-time evaluation by the EC with recommendations that have been taken into account for the consolidation. The next level for HDS is (i) to strengthen the ecosystem with venture-building services and procurement support, (ii) to reach out to all regions and municipalities in Sweden, (iii) to further the integration with EU-supported AI infrastructures, and (iv) to sustain the services beyond the scope of the project. To achieve this next level, Health Data Sweden - Next Level brings on board 3 new partners with strong experience in venture building, and 2 new associate partners that reach all regions and municipalities in Sweden and the MedTech industry. A lean and fit-for-purpose constellation of partners and collaboration structures ensures that the goals can be achieved, maximising more value through services. Health Data Sweden will be a strong force to advocate the perspective of innovation and needs of both SMEs and PSOs here and now in the Swedish health data ecosystem. Building a legacy through systems change, and a focus on long-term sustainability of the services are integral to the consolidation challenge.
