Innovation Hub 2025: What will happen at the Congress?
Launched in 2023, the Innovation Hub provides every year, a showcase of ground-breaking innovations that revolutionize how hospital leaders provide care worldwide. From inspiring Innovation Ignite Talks chaired by our Hub partner Stanford Medicine, to networking opportunities in the i-to-i Innovation Lounge, Congress will be full of ways to discover new ideas and connect with innovators. Delegates can also use the Congress App to explore the 2025 innovations and connect directly for 1:1 meetings. And in an exclusive (invitation-only) pre-Congress session, selected innovators will take part in the exclusive Stanford Innovation Workshop at the University Hospital of Geneva (HUG).
