When it comes to the future of health care, one thing is clear: innovation isn’t optional—it’s inevitable. This September, WHX Tech arrives in Dubai with a clear mission: to bring together the leaders, innovators, and decision makers who are shaping what’s next in digital health.

Taking place from September 8–10, 2025 at Dubai World Trade Centre, WHX Tech, staged in partnership with HIMSS, is an exclusive, high-profile gathering set to bring together the most influential minds in health care technology.

Over three days, the event will deliver a curated experience of immersive tech demos, deep-dive discussions, and interactive tech showcases tackling the world’s biggest health care challenges.

“WHX Tech is where innovation in digital health comes to life. Designed to spark breakthroughs, this event goes beyond showcasing new technologies—it’s about turning ideas into actionable solutions that address the real-world challenges facing global health care,” said Solene Singer, Senior Vice President, Informa Markets.

Where AI, Robotics, And Data Converge

At the heart of WHX Tech lies its speaker lineup—a powerhouse mix of emerging startups and established giants pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Xcelerate is where innovation meets opportunity. This high-energy stage is built for deal-making and discovery, bringing together the most promising startups with leading investors, buyers, and decision makers ready to back the future of health.

Future X looks ahead to what’s next. Over three days, this stage will host keynote presentations, product launches, and exclusive announcements from the visionaries building the future of health care. Expect bold ideas, disruptive technologies, and thought-provoking conversations that connect policy, technology, and patient outcomes.

You’ll hear from some of the most influential voices in health and innovation, including Zayna Khayat (Applied Health Futurist), Christopher Ross (former CIO, Mayo Clinic and MinuteClinic; Senior Advisor, Insight Partners), Peter Jones CBE (entrepreneur, mentor, philanthropist, and TV personality, Dragons’ Den), Laura M.

Why Dubai—And Why Now?

While the US and Europe have long been considered health tech powerhouses, Dubai is rapidly emerging as a strategic launchpad for global digital health startups.

With its government-backed commitment to health care innovation, rising investment activity, and status as a gateway to emerging markets, Dubai offers the ideal ecosystem for tech entrepreneurs looking to scale across MENA, Asia, and beyond.

WHX Tech taps directly into this momentum, offering startups visibility, investor access, and the opportunity to partner with some of the world’s largest health care buyers and regulators.

Not Just Another Healthtech Event – It’s Where Innovation Comes To Life

In a crowded landscape of conferences and expos, WHX Tech is offering something different: focus, access, and impact. It has been intentionally designed as an experience that prioritizes facilitating the most important conversations and innovations in digital health today.

From AI and robotics to patient-centered platforms and predictive care, WHX Tech is helping to shape the systems and technologies that will define the next decade of health care.
