Lighthouse Life Science is a public-private partnership dedicated to address complex healthcare challenges. Utilising data-driven evidence, emphasising implementation, and focusing on international scalability, its goal is to improve health equity and drive economic growth.

With a coalition of over 300 public and private partners, including regions, municipalities, pension companies, and knowledge institutions, the Lighthouse fosters innovative solutions through diverse partnerships.

Initiated in March 2022 with an initial focus on healthy weight, the initiative broadened its focus in August 2023 to also include mental health. In line with national strategies and supportive of health policy priorities, this expanded mental health focus aims to support the Danish 10-year action plan for the improvement of psychiatric care.

It intends to establish an enabling framework that empowers public-private partnerships to find innovative solutions to support the areas of focus described in the 10-year plan.
Given the complex nature of mental health and healthy weight, the Lighthouse demonstrates substantial potential to explore solutions for other complex chronic diseases. By capitalising on Denmark’s robust life science environment and long tradition for public-private partnerships, it plays a pivotal role in establishing a framework that empowers companies, regardless of size, to develop innovative solutions, ultimately advancing health outcomes for individuals.
