For the City of Pune, India we helped set up a Public Health Intelligence Hub – a first in India. This Hub will help monitor local population’s health, assess health threats quickly, and guide local level interventions and make decision-making more evidence-driven. The analytical intelligence component of the Hub, will enable better preparedness, better planning, and faster responses to health events.

During the German G7 Presidency, CPC Analytics supported the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence in its collaboration with the German Ministry of Health. We co-developed a pandemic simulation exercise alongside the WHO Hub and the German Ministry of Health, which was successfully conducted with G7 health ministers at their meeting in May 2022. Following this, we worked with German partners on the Pact for Pandemic Readiness, adopted in autumn 2022. A key achievement of this initiative was its alignment around Collaborative Surveillance, a core concept of WHO for strengthening the global architecture for health emergency preparedness, response, and resilience.

CPC Analytics provided policy analysis and consulting for the “Informal Expert Group on the EU’s Role in Global Health” established under the Finnish EU Presidency in 2019. Our work involved preparing, participating in, and synthesizing the sessions to inform the development of a new Global Health Strategy, announced by the European Commission (EC) in 2022 during the French Presidency and followed up with a Communication by the EC. In 2020, we published the policy paper “Towards a Synergistic Global Health Strategy in the EU”. In 2021, under the Slovenian Presidency, CPC Analytics authored a paper on “The EU’s Global Action in Support of UHC in Time of the Pandemic and Beyond”.

CPC Analytics was commissioned by the Bertelsmann Stiftung to investigate the potential benefits of a closer data exchange collaboration between India and Europe for AI development. Our study explored the Indian AI landscape, Germany’s need for larger data pools, and the requirements for successful cooperation. Through over 30 expert interviews with AI practitioners, policymakers, and researchers across sectors such as health, e-commerce, and manufacturing, we found promising long-term prospects. The analysis included Crunchbase company data and public AI indicators, providing a comprehensive indicator-driven and text analytics approach. The published study outlines these findings and recommendations for fostering collaboration.

CPC Analytics has played a key role in conceptualizing and organizing the flagship, public-facing Speaker Series and community-driven Innovation Forum of the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence. We led the organization of six high-level, hybrid Speaker Series events, carefully curating topics, speakers, and contributions to reflect the diverse, multi-disciplinary, and complex nature of pandemic and epidemic intelligence. The Speaker Series “Complexity of Pandemics” events stimulated innovative thinking and attracted over 650 on-site guests and over 19,600 online viewers (and counting). All events are available through a playlist on the official WHO YouTube channel. Additionally, CPC Analytics conceptualized and organized the sessions of the Innovation Forum, a collaborative group of international experts from around 45 organizations focused on epidemic and pandemic intelligence initiatives. Within a year, the community tripled in size with our support. We also co-authored and published reports (1st session report, 2nd session report) highlighting each session’s main points, further contributing to the Hub’s knowledge dissemination and engagement efforts.
