On 15-16 April 2021, the 8th edition of Innovation for Health takes place as an online edition with hybrid aspect. Innovation for Health is the meeting place where over 900 bright minds from across Health and Life Sciences come together to shape the future of healthcare. The theme of this year’s conference is immunology, a topic that, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, has never been more relevant. With our energizing programme, we bring over 40 top-notch speakers to the stage, display high impact innovations, highlight best practices, and demonstrate inspiring developments in healthcare. Inspiring, interacting, and networking are at the heart of the conference. Innovation for Health is the leading conference for key players in Health & Life Sciences.
