Pitching the Next Great Idea

The concept of "Pitching the Next Great Idea" came to life during the GlobalSkin-Europe session held on September 7, 2022 in Milan. GlobalSkin Member organizations came together and shared their innovative projects in the field of patient advocacy and capacity building. 

GlobalSkin thanks everyone for their engagement and inspirational ideas. 

Below you will find the wonderful stories of our Members which are the result of hard work, enthusiasm, and empathy.

We call on all GlobalSkin-Europe Members to pitch their own "Next Great Idea". If you would like your project or story to be published on this page, please send a PDF document along with a short description to: This email address is being protected from spambots.
