On May 2, 2025, the Chair of the Brain Health Council Foundation, Prof. Nikolay Gabrovsky, and Board Member Arkadi Sharkov, held a working meeting with the European Commissioner for Startups, Research, and Innovation – Ms. Ekaterina Zaharieva. The key topic of discussion was the transformative role of innovation and artificial intelligence in medicine, as well as the need to adapt EU healthcare systems to emerging technological and demographic realities. The participants discussed how cutting-edge solutions can be integrated to enhance patient care and effectively address public health challenges. “We express our sincere gratitude to Commissioner Zaharieva for the open dialogue and her support for innovation as a key driver of the future of healthcare,” said Prof. Gabrovsky. According to him, 2025 will mark a turning point for brain health – a topic that requires a coordinated approach at both European and national levels. Over the past decade, the EU has invested more than 7 billion euros in brain health research and related policy development. This reflects a strong commitment to public well-being and sustainable progress. The Brain Health Council Foundation will continue to promote innovation, integrate scientific advancements into health policy, and foster sustainable connections between institutions, experts, and citizens.
