Yet, across Europe, regions are adopting AI at different paces depending on infrastructure, digital readiness, regulatory environments, and investment capacity. This meeting will explore how AI is being implemented in regional healthcare systems, highlight good practices, and identify opportunities for stronger collaboration and EU-level alignment.
