The Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking (IHI JU) is a partnership between the European Union
and industry associations representing the sectors involved in healthcare, namely COCIR (medical
imaging, radiotherapy, health ICT and electromedical industries); EFPIA, including Vaccines Europe
(pharmaceutical industry and vaccine industry); EuropaBio (biotechnology industry); and MedTech
Europe (medical technology industry).
IHI JU aims to pioneer a new, more integrated approach to health research and builds on the experience
gained from the Innovative Medicine Initiative 2 Joint Undertaking (IMI2 JU).
IHI JU aims to translate health research and innovation into real benefits for patients and society, and
ensure that Europe remains at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary, sustainable, patient-centric health
research. Health research and care increasingly involve diverse sectors. By supporting projects that bring
these sectors together, IHI JU will pave the way for a more integrated approach to health care, covering
prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and disease management.
As current health challenges and threats are global, IHI JU should be open to participation by
international academic, industrial and regulatory actors, in order to benefit from wider access to data and
expertise, to respond to emerging health threats and to achieve the necessary societal impact, in
particular improved health outcomes for Union citizens
