Lemonmint supports Messe Berlin in developing Smart Health Europe

Lemonmint is supporting Messe Berlin in the strategic development of Smart Health Europe, a new flagship event designed to accelerate innovation across Europe’s health systems. Launching in 2027, Smart Health Europe will connect leading-edge technologies with decision-makers and implementers in Berlin, Germany – a political powerhouse, global health innovation hub, and gateway to Europe’s largest healthcare market and the wider continent.

Lemonmint brings deep experience in digital health transformation, combined with extensive expertise in shaping and delivering global digital health events. The company contributes to the overall concept, positioning, and international development of the platform.

“Europe has long needed a truly impactful event for health transformation – one that scales innovation and accelerates adoption across national health systems. Smart Health Europe answers this need at a time of growing pressure on Europe’s health systems. Germany plays a central role in this – as the continent’s largest healthcare market and a key driver of innovation.”, says Armin Scheuer, CEO & Founder of Lemonmint.

Europe is at a Turning Point

European health systems are among the world’s best. Yet they face a growing number of challenges. Workforce shortages and rising costs are putting increasing pressure on delivery models; the need to adopt innovation at scale is becoming more urgent and is further intensified by geopolitical developments and the demand for greater resilience.

At the same time, European initiatives such as the European Health Data Space (EHDS) are opening new opportunities. They enable better use of data, strengthen collaboration, and support cross-border innovation.

Berlin: Setting the Stage for Europe’s Health Innovation

Berlin stands at the intersection of policy, innovation and implementation – making it uniquely positioned to drive healthcare transformation in Europe. As Germany’s political center, it offers direct access to federal decision-makers, regulatory bodies, and leading associations, shaping Germany’s health agenda and equipped to translate European priorities into real-world implementation.

This political influence is matched by a powerful healthcare infrastructure. With more than 130 hospitals, including Charité – Europe’s largest university hospital – and Vivantes, Germany’s largest public hospital network, Berlin provides a real-world environment where innovation can be developed, tested, and adopted at scale.

Healthcare is also one of the capital region’s major economic sectors, with over 24,000 companies, 420,000 employees, and €37 billion in annual turnover. At the same time, Berlin hosts one of Europe’s most dynamic start-up ecosystems – second only to London – reinforcing its role as a leading hub for digital health innovation.
