Chiesi Group, a research-oriented international biopharmaceutical group, is proud to announce the official launch of The Impulse, an innovation platform designed to accelerate bold ideas and meaningful partnerships in healthcare.
The Impulse aims to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing patients, the planet, and people today by addressing not only symptoms but also the root causes of these challenges, such as climate change and access to care.
Chiesi continuously invests in research and development to create new healthcare solutions for patients globally.
Empowering innovation through collaboration
The Impulse was launched at Frontiers Health in Berlin. The platform will provide resources, mentorship, and a global network for innovators, researchers, and startups to bring forward-thinking healthcare solutions to life.
The Impulse has already begun to attract interest from key players in the life sciences, digital health, and environmental sustainability sectors, including the Karolinska Institutet, NOME and EIT-HEALTH, with more partnerships in the pipeline.
The platform will also serve as a dynamic hub for collaboration, connecting innovators to a global network of resources to drive new projects and ideas forward.
A commitment to patients and the planet
As the healthcare industry faces growing pressure to rethink traditional care models, with climate change and sustainability central to global health discussions, Chiesi is offering more environmentally friendly solutions.
The Impulse creates a collaborative space for researchers, start-ups and innovators to work together to drive solutions that not only improve patient outcomes but also contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.

That’s why Chiesi has created The Impulse, aiming to empower those who are driven by a passion to improve the lives of others through innovation,” said Fabrizio Conicella, Vice-President Center of Open Innovation & Competence.
