About the event

A disruptive health symposium

The second edition of Health on Stage.be is joining Hospitals.be for its 40th anniversary edition for an unmissable grand event bringing together Belgium’s brightest minds and sharpest innovators for talks, meetings, pitches and an award ceremony. 
Hospitals.be is Belgium’s association that supports the development and advancement of hospital science. It’s annual Congress – celebrating its 40th edition this year – welcomes hospital decision-makers, care service leaders and healthcare specialists to hear experts address and debate topics on a specific theme. 

Health on Stage.be is a biennial event launched by all three of Belgium’s regional health innovation clusters – Biovia, BioWin and lifetech.brussels. At Health on stage.be, hospitals pitch their needs and ideas to innovators working in medtech, biotech and digital health. This reverse pitching event allows health innovators to better understand the challenges faced by hospitals and the opportunities to provide solutions.
