BERLIN Workshop on Towards Health Futures: Digital Innovation,
Infrastructure, and Entrepreneurship on Bio Data
Digital Entrepreneurship Hub, Freie Universität Berlin
March 7-8, 2018
Sirkka L. Jarvenpaa, McCombs School of Business

Hannes Rothe, Digital Entrepreneurship Hub, Freie Universität
Berlin
We invite researchers and scientists to a two-day spring workshop
in Berlin. Advances in biology and widespread availability of
health and bio data promise new diagnostics, treatments, products,
and services that may change human health and life. Our primary
objective is to bring together scholars with diverse expertise and
disciplinary backgrounds to establish an interdisciplinary
community that could initiate novel conversations on data
innovation, entrepreneurship, and infrastructure topics around
human health futures.
To this end, the workshop facilitates both small group and large
group conversations topics. Specifically, the workshop schedule
includes parallel small group sessions to which attendees will be
assigned based on their abstract and field of interest. Key
‘takeaways’ from these small group sessions will be brought forth
and discussed among all attendees in a few plenary sessions. Thus,
the emphasis of the workshop will be on facilitating highly
interactive discussions rather than formal topic presentations. In
addition, we schedule keynote speakers on the two days. These
keynote speakers will include senior industry executives, the head
of a biotech accelerator, entrepreneurs, and academics. We expect
to send you the final workshop program by February.
To cover the expenses for facilities, lunch and dinner on March 7
and March 8, 2019, we ask participants for a fee of 250 EUR.
If you would like to attend and join discussions, we would like to
request you to send us a 1 to 2 page (double-spaced) extended
abstract of your current or future research idea/
question/contribution around bio data by January 9, 2019. Please
note that the abstract can involve a project idea that you are yet
to develop into a full-blown project but would like to get
feedback and/or find collaborators. Please email your abstract to
Hannes Rothe at
hannes.rothe@fu-berlin.de<mailto:hannes.rothe@fu-berlin.de>.
These extended abstracts will serve two purposes. First, it would
help us identify a set of common topics that would then form the
basis for developing discussion tables. We will make these
abstracts accessible only to the attendees in the workshop. Key
learnings from the workshop will be documented, aggregated, and
published in a joint workshop report. The joint report will be
circulated among all attendees for comments before publication.

Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
Digital innovation, infrastructure and entrepreneurship for
sharing bio & health data (i.e., platforms and
infrastructures)
· Emerging organizational forms and business models including
“data collectives” and “data trusts” and new roles (for instance,
“data brokers”, “curators”, “guardians”).
• Incentive mechanisms and organizational capabilities required to
leverage data sharing.
• Providing data in a domain of a rapidly changing knowledge base
• Governance related to the distribution of control, consent, and
the assignments of rights across actors.
• Legal and political ramifications of conceptualising data as
infrastructural resources, digital objects, and valuable objects.
• Theoretical and methodological challenges of studying data as
infrastructural resources, digital objects and valuable objects.
Digital innovation and entrepreneurship on bio & health data
(i.e., new ventures, products, and services)
• Practices of utilizing private and open data in a highly
regulated market
• Business model innovation along data pipelines in digital
ecosystems
• (De-)Contextualization of data by digital ventures
• The interplay among multiple layers of data within digital
ecosystems (e.g. end users that actively contribute their data,
data aggregators and intermediaries, data analytics service
providers).
• Navigating conflicting logics across digital and entrepreneurial
ecosystems
• The evolution of open, closed, and hybrid data repositories
within and across organizations.
• How far does available bio data disrupt health systems – from
disease prevention, health promotion, to longevity.
• Data sharing and competition dynamics between firms in digital
markets (including the role of policies and regulation, such as
for instance, GDPR).
