Showcase excellence and innovation at WHC 2025 through the IHF Awards & i-to-i Innovation Hub
Entries for the IHF Awards 2025 now accepted
The call for entries for the IHF Awards 2025 is now open! This year marks a special milestone – we will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the IHF Awards, which continue to honour hospitals and health service providers for their outstanding projects, programmes, and services worldwide. The winners will be announced during a unique Awards Gala on 12 November at the 48th IHF World Hospital Congress in Geneva, Switzerland.
Entries must be submitted through the IHF online submission platform and they will be accepted until 2 May. The IHF Award entries will be assessed by a panel of experienced global healthcare leaders serving on the IHF Awards Committee. For Awards enquiries, please contact Eleonor Angeles at eleonor.angeles@ihf-fih.org.
NOW OPEN: Applications for the i-to-i Innovation Hub
We are also excited to announce the launch of the i-to-i Innovation Hub 2025: from innovation to implementation. The i-to-i Innovation Hub, in collaboration with Stanford Healthcare, celebrates cutting-edge innovations that are revolutionizing how hospital leaders provide care worldwide. Under the 2025 theme, “hospital-born innovation”, hospitals within the IHF membership are invited to submit unique products, processes, or services that are addressing specific challenges faced by hospital leaders in healthcare settings in new ways.
The Innovation Hub has a dedicated space at the 48th IHF World Hospital Congress, and will be part of the programme in a series of Innovation Ignite Talks. Applications must be submitted through the IHF online submission platform by 2 May. For any questions about the Hub, please contact Ilona Johnston at ilona.johnston@ihf-fih.org.
Can I apply for both IHF Awards and Innovation Hub?
It is possible that an innovation submitted to the Innovation Hub could also meet the entry criteria for an IHF Award. If you do choose to submit the same solution to both the Innovation Hub and IHF Awards, you must note this in your entry to both programmes and provide the same contact information for both submissions.
