News & Agenda

The i4KIDS Acceleration Programme 2026 has officially launched its new cohort, bringing together five high-potential projects that showcase the diversity and strength of paediatric innovation. From breakthrough therapies for rare diseases and childhood cancer to advanced medical technologies and digital solutions tailored for paediatric care, the selected initiatives address pressing unmet clinical needs.
Through a structured training and mentoring pathway, the programme will support teams in advancing clinical validation, regulatory readiness, technology transfer and market access, with a strong focus on delivering sustainable solutions and tangible impact for children and families.

The Paediatric Hospital Innovation Challenge 2026 is now open, calling on paediatric hospitals across Europe and the UK to submit innovative, scalable solutions developed within hospital settings. Selected projects will gain international visibility and present at the Paediatric Innovation Day 2026 in Helsinki, connecting with the European paediatric innovation ecosystem.
