The global investment platform, Investopia launched a ‘Smart Clinics’ initiative in the UAE and the wider Middle East region to focus on improving life quality and establishing wellness pathways.
Technology and precision healthcare will be the key components of the Smart Clinics programme.
The initiative has already picked up momentum with Italy-based GKSD Investment Holding and Gruppo San Donato, announcing investments over 125 million euros in the new projects in the UAE and the region, which will include setting up of university infrastructure and smart clinics.
A partnership agreement with the two Italian groups was signed during the Investopia meet in Abu Dhabi last month.
Abdulla Al Saleh, Undersecretary at the Ministry of Economy, said: “We are pleased to witness the launch of smart clinics in the UAE during the Investopia 2023 conference in collaboration with GKSD Investment Holding and Gruppo San Donato.”
Kamel Ghribi, President of GKSD Investment Holding, said the group’s strong capabilities in healthcare management and services include acute care treatment, medical education and scientific research in the field of gene and cellular therapies worldwide.
“We remain focused on expanding cooperation in the MENA region, sharing our GKSD expertise,” he added.
The Investopia conference this year included 35 sessions and roundtables, and brought together more than 2000 participants like investors, government officials, thought leaders and entrepreneurs, from more than 40 countries.
