Thought-Leadership for the Global Life Sciences Industry

The Center for Healthcare Innovation (CHI) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit research center committed to excellence and innovation in the global life sciences industries, including the biotechnology, medical device, and pharmaceutical sectors. We provide rigorous, objective thought-leadership and solutions for the international life science ecosystem.

We are the world's leading non-profit, independent think tank for the global life science ecosystem.  One of our philosophy’s most important principles is to operate the CHI for the benefit of others rather than for the benefit of the organizers.  This leads to the most important question for various stakeholders – “How can CHI benefit me?”
