The health.tech global summit will convene the entire healthcare-innovation ecosystem—encompassing start-ups, providers, pharma, payers, investors, and policy-makers—for three intensive days at the prestigious Messe Basel in Switzerland in 2026. Established through a new joint venture between Bits & Pretzels and MCH Group, this event builds significantly upon the community momentum generated by its past three editions in Munich. The partnership is designed to scale the summit into a truly global, essential platform for the future of medicine.

Hosted across the vast exhibition halls of Messe Basel, the organizers are expecting over 5,000 delegates and 250 exhibitors, making it the densest environment for health-tech innovation in Europe in 2026. The summit’s primary goal is clear: to convene the brightest minds from across healthcare, technology, and investment sectors, providing the ultimate crucible for collaborative thinking. This focus is aimed squarely at moving beyond conversation to actively translate bold, disruptive ideas into measurable, real-world impact on a global scale.

Strategically, the summit’s success is anchored by its operational base, which is resident at the renowned Novartis Campus Innovation Park office. Orchestrating the inaugural global summit from this location provides an immediate advantage. The Innovation Park delivers an unparalleled ecosystem, a deep talent pool, and significant institutional credibility, ensuring that the health.tech global summit in Basel is positioned not just as a major European conference, but as a definitive global success in 2026.
