Healthcare: MIT Sloan and King\u2019s College London To Host Summit On Building Sustainable Systems<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Innovators and entrepreneurs around the world are challenging what is possible in global health. They are looking at innovative, scalable and sustainable approaches to change local healthcare systems, especially in emerging economies. To showcase their solutions and explore how partnerships make progress possible, the MIT Sloan School of Management and King\u2019s College London will host an inclusive all-day summit on May 22 in London. The event, \u201cBuilding Sustainable Healthcare Systems through Innovation and Entrepreneurship,\u201d<\/strong> will bring together entrepreneurs, academics, healthcare professionals and policymakers from around the world to discuss opportunities to strengthen healthcare ecosystems.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to host this event with King\u2019s College London to find new ways to implement sustainable, effective and scalable global healthcare solutions through the lens of innovation and entrepreneurship. Through these global conversations, we seek to support and shape the conditions necessary for entrepreneurs and innovators to maximize their impact,\u201d<\/em> says MIT Sloan Associate Dean for Innovation Fiona Murray, who is co-director of the MIT Innovation Initiative and faculty director of MIT Sloan\u2019s Legatum Center for Entrepreneurship and Development.<\/p>\n

Georgina Campbell Flatter, research scientist and former executive director of MIT Sloan\u2019s Legatum Center, notes:\u00a0\u201cThe conversation is often around what the public sector can do, but innovators and entrepreneurs are also pushing boundaries and saving lives. There is so much we can learn from these change agents, especially those in emerging economies. Because they often benefit from the lack of legacy infrastructure and norms, we are seeing some fascinating on-the-ground solutions that are leapfrogging and changing traditional healthcare systems.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
