Building the best model for digital
Finding the business model that best leverages digital and technology is tough. Health care is littered with failed attempts at innovation and transformation.

What does success look like for providers large or small and how is it achieved?
Speakers include:

Thomas Hagemeijer, Healthcare Lead, TLGG

How to succeed at corporate venture capital
The venture capital boom of 2021 was not just from traditional VC but increasingly from large corporates looking to deploy capital or back start ups that fit their strategic goals. But for these new entrants it’s not always easy or successful. This session outlines what a successful model looks like from picking the right targets, identifying the correct partners to creating successful incubators and accelerator programmes.

This time it’s Personal: Rethinking patient pathways
One-size-fits-all health care delivery is stuck in the past. Using data, genomics and an understanding of each patients specific needs, environment and history and developing a personal care pathway is proving to increase outcomes and lower costs. Payors in markets such as France are starting to fund such an approach, opening up new revenue opportunities. This session evaluates early data from such endeavours and looks at how operators and health systems can scale-up efforts.
Speakers include:
Thierry Chiche, CEO, Elsan
Prof Ran Balicer, Chief Innovation Officer, Clalit

Managing your costs in challenging times

So how do providers control costs? This session explores strategies to keep costs at bay from strategic procurement to efficiency gains and getting more out of your existing technology.
Speakers include:
Joe Ryan, Chief Financial Officer, Medicover

‘What struck me was the availability of some of the brightest minds in health care and the seamless interaction. I get to meet a whole lot of people in a very fluid way.

It’s gonna be great in the next few months to bring all of our ideas together.‘
