Dr. Xavier EMMANUELLI visited iCONM
On May 30, 2023, Dr. Xavier Emmanueli, who was involved in the founding of Médecins Sans Frontières (Nobel Peace Prize 1999) and SAMU Social, and served as the Minister of Emergency Humanitarian Assistance under President Jacques Chirac, visited iCONM along with representatives from the French Embassy. Dr. Emmanueli expressed concern over the challenges faced by socially vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly, and showed strong interest in iCONM's "Project CHANGE," which is being promoted as a core initiative.
Through explanations and discussions with project members, he deepened his understanding of the project's goal of achieving a "Resilient Healthy and Longevity Society led by Co-Creation in Medicine, Engineering and Nursing”. Following this, he toured the site where open innovation is being developed through collaboration among industry, academia, and government.
This visit provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen international partnerships and enhance the effectiveness of the project's initiatives.
