The digital curtain of Coopen Summit 2023 | Voices of African Innovation will reopen on April 18th, returning to give voice to the international partnerships made of Civil Society Organizations and Innovators active in the participatory path Coopen.

The initiatives that will be presented are the result of the synergistic activities carried out within the Call for Innovators Health and Well-being, one of the three thematic calls of the Coopen initiative, which is part of the program Innovazione per lo Sviluppo promoted by Fondazione Cariplo and Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, and is managed by Cariplo Factory with the contribution of JengaLab, Centro Tiresia del Politecnico di Milano and Effecinque.

• Construction of health environments and infrastructures 
• Collect and organize clinical data 
• Prevention in local communities and vulnerable groups 

Alongside the partnerships national and international speakers, operating mainly at an institutional level and in the world of international cooperation, will also join the digital stage and share experiences and best practices in the field of health and well-being.
