The theme for HBI 2026, Creating Value In Changing Times, has been carefully chose to reflect the fact that despite shifting economic and geopolitical challenges, the focus in healthcare remains true: creating value for patients, improving their access, outcomes and experience. This can be through removing unnecessary obstructions, reducing the cost of care, investing in new technologies and processes which speeds up diagnostics or treatment, focusses on prevention and treats them personally and holistically.

Delivering this requires thoughtful investment to leverage and scale innovation, drive efficiencies and develop the infrastructure to meet current and future demand from a rise in consumer health and a rapidly ageing population. With scarcity of resources in terms of people, money and planet, value is created through the appropriate use of resources to ensure that what is built today can deliver for the long term.

Uncertainty creates opportunity, new investment paths and drives further innovation – HBI 2026 will serve as a forum for value creators to convene, form partnerships and chart a path through today’s fluid and changing landscape.
