European Innovation Council

Every month, during a Coffee Break, we dive into the stories of EIC innovators and get a glimpse of the persons behind the startups. Today's episode coincides with the World Day of Health, and we couldn't leave this date unnoticed. The theme for this year's celebration is "Building a fairer, healthier world". With this motto in mind, we get together with Or Retzkin, CEO of EyeControl. The startup, based in Israel, developed an innovative communication solution that bridges information barriers, facilitating better care and decision-making in healthcare environments, thereby eliminating important health inequities. Discover the story behind this innovation in the EIC Coffee Break of the Month.
