The MENA region’s leading exhibition for the healthcare industry, Arab Health, has confirmed a new addition to the popular Transformation Zone, with a host of disruptors, world-renowned experts, innovators and industry leaders set to participate in the Healthcare Transformation Talks.
The 2022 edition of the show, which returns as a co-located event for the healthcare and laboratory industries, will take place from 24-27 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre. This year’s theme is ‘United by business, forging ahead’ with new technologies and the latest innovations taking centre stage.
As a result of COVID-19, there has been a marked increase in investment in healthcare as innovative new technologies drive change across the sector. According to a survey by the Global Impact Investing Network, an industry research and analytics firm, some $715 billion in capital is designated to healthcare impact investments, making it the third-largest impact category behind financial services and climate change, and the fastest-growing area.
Furthermore, according to Deloitte U.S., venture capital in healthcare technology spiked to US$14 billion in 2020, almost doubling 2019 levels of US$7.4 billion. The previous annual record was US$8.2 billion in 2018.
Ross Williams, Exhibition Director for Informa Markets, said: “Innovation and technology continue to witness incredible growth in the healthcare sector with investment in this part of the industry reaching record levels in 2020. This is clearly a vital part of the healthcare landscape and one we are keen to explore and showcase.
“As part of the new Healthcare Transformation Talks, a host of renowned experts, innovators and industry leaders will provide the latest insights, discoveries and predictions for the future of healthcare, with key highlights on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Health and Virtual Reality, amongst others.”
Marquee speakers confirmed to speak during the talks include Dr Christopher Brochhausen, Vice-Chair Pathology – Comprehensive Cancer Centre Eastern Bavaria, University Regensberg, who will discuss the Digital transformation of precision medicine using artificial intelligence and Reenita Das, Senior VP and Partner, Frost & Sullivan, addressing Femtech 2030 – Growth Opportunities in Women’s Health.
Other high-level speakers include Massimo Cannizo, CEO and Co-Founder, GELLIFY Middle East; Dr Michael Bradley Wallace, Chair-Committee on AI World, Endoscopy Organisation, Division Chair – Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City; and Brandon Rowberry, CEO – Digital Health, Aster DM Healthcare.
