The DHI Cluster is more than honored to welcome all new members on board, thanks to which its digital health ecosystem has become even more diversified, and respectively, more capable of providing solutions aimed at solving the challenges of today’s healthcare. We believe in the positive impact incurred from effective cross-industry collaboration and that’s why we are here to stimulate expertise-exchange, joint projects, and mutual support in building the strong digital health community.
“For the past four years, the DHI Cluster has been adding mainly tech companies to its community, which, of course, added a great value to our digital health ecosystem. Today, I’m happier than ever to announce that the Cluster has added more diversified healthcare stakeholders to its value chain – these are 5 tech companies, 2 universities, MU-Pleven and MU-Plovdiv, and an investment company. Together with them, we become even stronger,” shared Mira Ganova, executive director of the DHI Cluster.
