Governments play a crucial role in fostering sustainable, efficient, and equitable healthcare systems. Technology and innovation enable this transformation when implemented at scale across borders.

In collaboration with the World Economic Forum, HLTH Europe established the Health Transformation Summit to lay the groundwork for transformative action. Building on the success of the inaugural event in 2024, the next edition of the exclusive Summit takes place at HLTH Europe 2025. It unites 200 vetted leading executives from Ministries, including Ministers of Health, government agencies, regulatory bodies, leading European providers and select private sector organisations to share best practices and collaboratively chart a path towards healthcare transformation.

The Health Transformation Summit at HLTH Europe serves as a nexus for those at the forefront of creating and influencing healthcare policy globally. Over two half days the Health Transformation Summit encourages candid and genuine conversations that have the potential to catalyse meaningful change for improving health outcomes.
