Partner Programme

Sunday, 15 November - 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM
Title: The Uncomfortable Truth About Global Health: Innovation Isn't the Problem, Execution Is.
Room: Lido 3001AB

Healthcare does not need another general conversation. It needs practical insight into what is working globally, what is overstated, what is missing, and where intelligent technologies can deliver meaningful improvements in health and healthcare.

Bringing together health leaders, clinicians, innovators, policymakers, investors and international ecosystem partners for two concentrated hours of insight, debate and global perspective. Before the floor opens, see the network that opens doors

(See Agenda below)

International Pitch Competition & Showcase 

Global Health Connector Pitching Competition will bring together 10 health startups to pitch in front of a panel of experts spanning technology, pharma, investor, and accelerator organisations, alongside a patient association. 

Selected startups will showcase their solutions live during the Global Village International Pitch Showcase on 17 November. Finalists will be revealed during the Partner Programme on 15 November. All health startups with innovative solutions attending HLTH USA are invited to apply.
