There’s a palpable sense of purpose within the HBI team, who I can report are relishing the prospect of hosting the industry we serve in Paris for the very first time later this month. If you’re reading this and haven’t yet got your ticket, it’s not too late to book now. Please join us for what is going to be a crucial event for all those invested in the business of healthcare.
Readers will I trust forgive me for taking a moment to comment on our team. I’m truly proud to be able to say that the current group is the most capable, and has the most potential, that I’ve seen in the business during the five years that I’ve been involved. We have a wealth of new talent whose attitude and energy are invigorating and whose skills and knowledge of the market is only going to grow.
Many of these people happen to be from the much written about, often maligned, Millennial and Z generations. Various stereotypes exist regarding these younger generations — in my experience with our team, all I can say is that they demonstrate all of the positive ones and none of the negative. They are a hard working, creative, conscientious, dynamic, and driven group, with a keen sense of responsibility toward the work that we do serving our sector.
Some of our new stars can be found within our editorial department. These are the clever folk (the new and the perennials) who are responsible for producing regular news and analysis for our members. They will also be appearing as moderators at HBI 2025. If you would like to make their acquaintance please don’t be shy in saying hello during the conference, or reach out to the team at editorial@healthcarebusinessinternational.com
HBI’s membership business delivers news, analysis and data online. Our goal is to help business professionals at healthcare companies, investors, and their advisors to identify new opportunities, achieve their investment goals, and gain competitive advantage.
Over the last fourteen months we have set out on a new path to expand our coverage across both our event and membership businesses. We are doing this to better serve the market by reflecting the investment and business strategies of our members and prospective members more closely. A strong start has been made in expanding coverage across the agenda of HBI 2025 and in news articles on themes such as GLP1 care models and India’s rapidly growing healthcare market.
We’re now beginning to turn our attention to our database products, the Provider Database and the Investment Database. To do this I am happy to say that we have two more promising new starters joining the business in a few weeks’ time, and we are going to recruit a Product Manager (if you happen to know someone who might be interested please let me know directly).
While we’re not yet ready to share all of the details of our plans to make the data products even better, you can expect to see brand new data added from new verticals like healthtech and pharmaceutical services, matching the advances we’ve already made in conference and news content. It all serves the same purpose — our mission to support our customers with the information that they need to enable them to make business critical decisions from a well informed standpoint.
There is also tangible product innovation in the pipeline, hence the need to add a Product Manager to the business. Look out for more news on this topic over the coming months — in the meantime if you are a member please consider taking ten minutes out of what I know will always be a busy day to complete our latest product survey. We are committed to developing and delivering the very best service that we can on your behalf, we value your feedback, and we would love to hear your thoughts to better inform our plans.
