How can we turn shared interests in digital mental health into meaningful cross-border partnerships?
We invite researchers, healthcare professionals, companies, startups, and innovation organisations from Estonia and Bochum, Germany, to join an interactive online matchmaking event dedicated to exploring opportunities for collaboration in digital mental health.
The event builds on the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Bochum and Estonia in July 2026, which aims to strengthen cooperation in healthcare research, innovation, and economic development.
From introductions to meaningful connections
The session will bring together organisations from both ecosystems to share their expertise, ongoing activities, and interests in digital mental health.
Rather than focusing on formal presentations or fully developed project proposals, the event is designed to encourage open dialogue, identify complementary strengths, and explore potential areas for joint initiatives.
What to expect:
- Meet potential partners from Estonia’s and Bochum’s healthcare and innovation ecosystems.
- Discover expertise and ongoing initiatives in digital mental health, research, and technology development.
- Explore opportunities for collaboration, including joint research, innovation projects, technology development, and knowledge exchange.
- Take part in interactive discussions to identify shared interests and possible next steps.
Who should participate?
The event is open to researchers, universities, healthcare providers, mental health professionals, digital health companies, startups, innovation support organisations, and other stakeholders interested in international cooperation in digital mental health.
Whether you are already working on a specific initiative or simply interested in discovering potential partners, you are welcome to join.
Let’s explore what we can achieve together!
This online exchange is intended as a starting point for new connections and future cooperation between the Estonian and Bochum digital health ecosystems.
