HBI 2026 — Creating Value in Changing Times

HBI 2026 is just around the corner. 

The theme for HBI 2026, Creating Value in Changing Times, reflects the reality that, despite economic and geopolitical shifts, healthcare’s core mission remains the same: creating value for patients. That could mean improving access, outcomes, and experiences, cutting unnecessary costs, investing in technologies and processes that speed up diagnosis or treatment, focusing on prevention, and offering care that is both personal and holistic.

Delivering this kind of value requires smart investment. It means scaling innovation, driving efficiency, and building infrastructure that meets today’s needs while preparing for tomorrow. With limited resources, whether people, money, or environmental, using them wisely ensures what we build today will last. Change and uncertainty also create opportunity, opening new paths for investment and innovation. HBI 2026 is the place for value creators to meet, collaborate, and navigate the shifting healthcare landscape together.

We’re bringing 1,000 delegates from 501 companies across over 40 countries to Paris next week. More than 130 investment firms and investment banks are in attendance alongside over 250 different healthcare companies, 75% of which will be represented by delegates who are C-Suite or equivalent.

Across three action-packed days, from Monday 23 to Wednesday 25 March, we’ll be covering healthcare sectors including private hospitals, elderly care, dental, ophthalmology, imaging, femtech, laboratories, consumer health, pharmacies and more. And of course, don’t miss the Welcome Reception held in partnership with Siemens Healthineers on Tuesday evening, a great chance to network and kick things off.

If you haven’t booked your ticket yet, it’s not too late to book your place now.
