Health.Tech Global Summit

The masterclasses at health.tech global summit 2026 were for everyone who likes their innovation with a side of actual substance.

This was the room where big ideas met real-world complexity:
- AI, IP and hospital procurement
- Regulation, data acts and the fine print nobody can afford to ignore
- Clinical adoption, digital biomarkers and medical algorithms in practice
- Growth, scale-up lessons and what it really takes to get from concept to clinic

With experts including Jochen Hurlebaus, Boris Adryan, Ludovica Visciola, Masha Gaganova, Pascal Hofer, Philipp Roessler, Marc Cikes, Aline Noizet, Farina Schurzfeld and many more.

Less buzzword bingo.
More “here’s how this actually works.”

While the stages were talking… the workshop rooms were doing.

At health.tech global summit 2026, this is where ideas got tested, challenged, and occasionally torn apart (in a productive way ;) ).

We had topics like:
- Deep dives into real problems like endometriosis and patient engagement
- Honest conversations about GenAI: just because you can… should you?
- Scaling healthcare solutions beyond the “nice pilot” phase

Less theory. More action.
Less slides. More “ok, but how do we actually make this work?

Welcome to the Insight Stage... where things got a little more intense (in the best way).

At health.tech global summit 2026, this was the place for:
→ AI you actually have to think about
→ Science moving faster than seems reasonable
→ Quantum conversations that made you question your IQ
→ And panels that didn’t just hype… but challenged

Featuring experts such as Max Tschochohei, Maximilliane Gläsle, Mary Fung, Richard Clough, David Matusiewicz, and many more pushing boundaries (and brains).

Plus:
- Live podcasts
- A film premiere (Beyond the Pill)
- Startups pitching what’s next

If you left this stage with more questions than answers…
good. That was the point ;)

"So… are we becoming healthier — or just more obsessed?

That was just one of the questions tackled on the Horizon Stage at health.tech global summit 2026.

Over two days, we heard:
→ AI detecting disease earlier than ever
→ Data finally giving women’s health the attention it deserves
→ Continuous monitoring turning care from reactive to predictive
→ Emotional fitness entering the health chat (as it should)

With voices like Lexi Mills, Moritz Hartmann and many more pushing boundaries.

Safe to say: the bar for healthcare innovation has officially been raised.

What does the future of care actually look like?
At the health.tech global summit 2026, we brought together innovators, clinicians and health system leaders tackling some of healthcare’s biggest challenges:

- AI in clinical decision-making
- Virtual-first care pathways
- Smart hospitals and digital infrastructure
- Remote care models from the Nordics to Canada

The conversations weren’t theoretical.
They were about how care is already changing in hospitals and health systems today."

Big ideas. Big names. Big impact.

The Therapeutic Stage at the health.tech global summit 2026 brought together some of the world’s most influential voices shaping the future of healthcare, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, Amal Clooney, astronaut Tim Peake, and leaders from companies such as Oura, Novo Nordisk and WeightWatchers.

Across two packed days, conversations explored AI-driven drug discovery, next-generation therapeutics, digital clinical trials and the technologies redefining human health.

One stage.
Dozens of breakthroughs.
A glimpse into the future of medicine.

Yes, they look a little like bouncy castles.

No, we didn’t let anyone jump on them.

Have you ever looked at an LED wall and wondered how it stays upright? Well, we can tell you, our LED wall at health.tech global summit was anchored by 9 huge concrete blocks!

Not only did Winkler Livecom made sure our LED wall provided an exceptional picture on our Therapeutics stage, they made made sure we had incredible sound and picture across all 9 of our content spaces.

Their team kept the technical setup flawless so speakers and guests could focus on what mattered most: the conversations.

We were blown away by the talent and innovation from all participants in our Startup Competition!

A huge congratulations to the winner, PulseMedica, for their outstanding work in advancing ophthalmic imaging and laser technology to diagnose and treat eye diseases.

And a special shoutout to our finalists: Cogniguard (advancing AI-driven patient safety and monitoring solutions) and Scanvio Medical (innovating in advanced medical imaging technologies).

We were delighted to partner with DayOne - Healthtech Innovation in delivering this fantastic competition and providing startups with a platform to shine. Their expertise, along with their outstanding network of the selection committee and onsite jury, is truly second to none.

A heartfelt thank you also goes to University Hospital Basel for sponsoring the event and supporting the next generation of health tech innovators.
