Why you as a health care supplier should join us...


For-profit health care services is a fast-growing customer segment for medtech, pharma and services. But consolidation and internationalisation mean you need to address new buyers. It is the CEO and CFO of billion-dollar revenue businesses who you need to reach. It is time to break out of product/country silos and meet the new decision makers!
Healthcare Business International, now in its thirteenth year, is the only CEO-level event for the sector across Europe and Emerging Markets. In 2022 we had several hundred CEO/CXOs from major operators and over 150 investors.
3 Top reasons why leading healthcare suppliers attend:
As a supplier, no matter where you are in the world, you should join them in 2023. Here is why!
Superb networking
This is a rare opportunity to meet a wide range of operators at CEO and CXO level. And we don’t think you will find as many specialist investors in health care services at any event outside of the USA. Many of these take a hands-on approach to procurement and partnership.
Insights that let you forge partnerships
Our CEO speakers deliver real insights into everything from quality to brand and from marketing to how groups are really using ehealth. Use these insights to engage them and to forge new relationships.
The broader vision you need
A sector which was always considered national is now international. Chinese groups are buying Australians with European subsidiaries. We have seen a huge growth in Pan-European platforms. And Saudi groups are extending their rech across the Middle East. No other event offers an international view of the landscape. This event focuses on sectors such as hospitals and diagnostics AND gives you insights at regional level!

Here's what previous delegates have said about the conference
Perhaps it is not surprising that many health care suppliers send teams. Book your place at HBI 2023 now and join us.


What struck me was the availability of some of the brightest minds in health care. I get to meet a lot of people in a very fluid way which I could not do anywhere else.
Ronnie Van der Merwe, CEO, Mediclinic
Very beneficial for our organisation for three reasons: tremendous networking with executives; huge amount of knowledge sharing, and, thirdly, it helps with transformation with the ever changing business environment.
Janti Masani - Director for Strategic Global Accounts - Abbott


It's a great platform to discuss, deliberate and come up with solid conclusions, which could be the problem in solving for the healthcare needs. When you want to be in business in healthcare, this is a very important conference.
Shamsheer Vayalil, Chairman and Managing Director, VPS Healthcare, UAE, Middle East


I get a better view of what is going on with digital health, artificial intelligence and how the providers and payors manage within the global trends. And also their cost-cutting initiatives. I’ve never had the chance to meet other CFOs and CEOs from other private hospitals. I am meeting many of them here. I'll be catching up with them, touching base with them afterwards. It's a great experience and a great networking opportunity.
