This year’s conference is shaped by the central theme of Equity, Ethics and Inclusivity — a call to action for more responsible, transparent, and equitable approaches to shaping the future of health and care. As we face rapid technological advancements, shifting societal needs, and increasingly complex health challenges, we must ensure that innovation works for everyone, not just the few. Across all discussions and sessions, the event will be exploring how equity, ethics, and inclusivity is embedded into foresight, research, and decision-making practices from the outset.

- Emerging Disruptors – A deep dive into new and transformative trends, such as AI-driven health solutions, digital transformation, and sector-wide challenges
