A state-level week for Kodality in London and Oxford, 6-9 October. Our CEO Maksim Zukov, COO Maksim Boiko, and Client Partner Nataliya Balkunova joined the Estonian HealthTech delegation during the President’s visit to the UK to road-test our Estonian-scale interoperability playbook against NHS priorities. We focused on policy alignment, procurement pathways, and data quality for AI-ready care - grounded in real conversations with NHS leaders and ecosystem partners.
Highlights:
• Policy and industry alignment with ABHI and a productive business-matching track
• A candid exchange with Prof Vincent Sai of Modality Partnership on what primary care really needs from suppliers
• A press lunch with President Alar Karis to align on digital health, data, and UK–Estonia collaboration
• Meetings and sessions at HETT Show with NHS leaders - spotlight on the keynote by Ming Tang about making the analogue-to-digital shift real
• Numerous discussions around FHIR integrations, SNOMED CT and mappings, data-quality controls for AI safety, and procurement pathways
• Immersion in the Oxford innovation network at Freeths and The Oxford Trust’s Wood Centre For Innovation - where ideas meet scale
• Space for culture and community at the Barbican Centre Concert “Adam’s Lament” conducted by Tõnu Kaljuste.
