During their interventions, each speaker talked about the goals and activities carried out by each entity, always focusing on the opportunities generated by a collaborative culture. In this sense, Andy Bleaden indicated that ecosystems bring together a permanent community of partners to develop a joint health agenda, with the aim of addressing and finding common solutions to regional health challenges, also highlighting that the main benefits of working together in an Ecosystem is the multiplier effect of collaborating in an international network of Ecosystems where access to international markets, collaboration with other regions and the expansion of innovation are generated on a larger scale.
