Keynote speaker: Maria Gaden

Chief of Development, Center for Sustainable Hospitals, which has recently become part of Procurement & Medical technology, Central Region of Denmark.

– We must stop thinking that the sustainable transition is about next year’s budget. We are hopelessly limited in our perspective. It costs something in the long run and in a broader perspective, because it creates negative spirals. – Maria Gaden

As a midwife by profession, Maria took the initiative to speak up, act, mobilise and organise what today has become a 19 people strong Center for Sustainable Hospitals. Maria Gaden is described by many as a changemaker and a role model, with an inspiring ambition to create IMPACT.
