Danish lessons for Europe

Public-private partnerships in healthcare and life science

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are shaping the future of healthcare and life science – in Denmark and beyond.

The publication gathers Danish experiences and case examples that demonstrate how collaboration across sectors can drive better patient outcomes, strengthen innovation, and enhance competitiveness. It highlights how PPPs – when built on trust, transparency, and long-term vision – can transform health systems, turning research into real-world solutions and supporting sustainable growth.

From clinical trials and digital health to preventive care and sustainable procurement, the Danish approach offers insights on how partnerships can make healthcare more resilient, efficient, and equitable.
