In the latest episode of MAP – the Market Access Podcast, Dr. Stefan Walzer engages with Swiss healthcare strategist Cuno Moser to explore Europe’s “innovation paradox” in healthcare. Despite its strengths in research, data quality, and clinical expertise, Europe struggles to transform pilot projects into scalable, reimbursable solutions. With over 27 fragmented reimbursement systems in the EU and in Switzerland, significant barriers impede progress in digital health, medtech, and AI-driven care. Beyond funding, challenges such as misaligned incentives, insufficient execution infrastructure, and flawed system design keep innovation stuck in “pilot purgatory.”
Looking ahead, while Europe may not lead in speed, it has the opportunity to excel in quality and trust. This could allow European health platforms to establish a competitive edge. If you’re involved in digital health, medtech, AI, or market access and find your solution stalled between a promising pilot and real-world scalability, this episode is a must-listen.
