• To monitor developments in, and provide advice on, digital technologies applied to health for public and private stakeholders.
• To promote e-health in prevention, therapeutic education, well-being promotion, the improvement and personalization of care, information exchange and sharing, strategy, and decision-making.
• To direct applied research and innovation in e-health toward innovative solutions that respond to the needs and questions raised by actors in the national health system.
• To develop partnerships with scientific societies, healthcare institutions, and patient associations in order to promote e-health in medical practice and improve access to care through the use of new technologies.
• To promote information sharing, interoperability, and security among stakeholders in the national health system.
• To encourage convergence and synergies between programmes and multidisciplinary actors involved in innovation and research in e-health.
• To promote public-private partnerships and make them a model of performance in e-health research and innovation.

• To contribute to the development of e-health R&D at the national level and across Africa.

Why do you want to join the Global Health Connector Network of Ecosystems?

We want to join the Global Health Connector network of ecosystems because CIeS is built on the idea that health innovation creates more value when ecosystems learn from one another, connect across regions, and turn shared challenges into concrete collaboration.

Our main motivation is to exchange practical knowledge with other ecosystem builders working at the intersection of digital health, system transformation, entrepreneurship, and public interest. We see strong value in being part of a community that does not only discuss innovation in theory, but helps connect institutions, innovators, health system actors, and implementation partners around real needs.

Joining this network would also help us strengthen the international dimension of our ecosystem by creating new opportunities for partnership, visibility, and mutual learning. CIeS is working to support digital health development through multistakeholder collaboration involving public institutions, healthcare actors, researchers, startups, and international partners. By engaging with the Global Health Connector community, we hope to share lessons from our own ecosystem, learn from other models and regions, and build bridges that can accelerate more inclusive, scalable, and context-adapted health innovation

Who is missing from your ecosystem in terms of stakeholders?

The stakeholders still missing from our ecosystem are mainly international actors who can help strengthen collaboration between regions and enable more structured learning across different health systems. This includes peer innovation hubs, digital health clusters, academic and clinical partners, multilateral organizations, implementation networks, and ecosystem builders from other regions facing similar challenges in digital transformation and health system strengthening. Their involvement would create more opportunities to exchange experiences, compare approaches, learn from both successes and barriers, and adapt relevant models to different local contexts.

We also see value in engaging more international funders, scaling partners, and global health innovation platforms that can help connect local initiatives with broader regional and global conversations. Expanding these links would make our ecosystem stronger by increasing its openness, its ability to learn from diverse environments, and its capacity to build collaborations that move knowledge, innovation, and practical solutions across borders

Which ecosystems are you looking to collaborate with?

We are particularly interested in collaborating with ecosystems such as Singapore, MATTER Chicago, the Massachusetts Digital Health Ecosystem, AGE-WELL, Québec’s Digital Health and Aging Innovation Ecosystem, Medical Valley EMN, the Basque Health Ecosystem, DayOne Basel, and Health Capital Helsinki. These ecosystems are especially relevant to CIeS because they combine digital health expertise, strong support for innovation, real-world validation, and international collaboration. We see clear value in learning from how they connect public institutions, healthcare providers, researchers, startups, and industry, and in building cross-regional partnerships that support the development, adoption, and scaling of health innovation.
