Zühlke Health Ecosystem Day

Two years since our inaugural Health Ecosystem Day, we’ve moved from connecting stakeholders to catalysing real-world collaborations, not just in innovation, but in operations, clinical excellence, and the responsible adoption of AI.

This year, we focus on what it takes to build a sustainable health ecosystem, one that moves beyond pilots, scales what works, and delivers on the promise of better health outcomes for all.

Join us for the second edition of Health Ecosystem Day, where leaders across medtech, pharma, healthcare providers, payers, and policymakers come together to foster collaboration and explore new ways of working towards a well-connected health ecosystem.

Themed “Beyond innovation to a sustainable health ecosystem for a healthier tomorrow”, this year’s programme explores shared learnings, partnerships, operating models, and the paths forward needed to build a sustainable and connected health ecosystem. 

Through thought leader panels, innovation showcases, and meaningful networking, we’ll spotlight practical collaborations that are improving patient outcomes and delivering value across the care continuum.
