Symposia overview
The next Frontiers symposium "Catalysing global healthcare: innovations and strategies for scalable impact" will take place from 5 to 7 February 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya, in partnership with Strathmore University and Jaza Rift. By bringing together leading experts in healthcare, technology, policy, and investment, the symposium aims to develop actionable strategies for global healthcare scaling. Moving beyond identifying barriers, it will focus on actionable strategies to overcome them, creating a roadmap for innovations that can effectively serve diverse communities across the globe.
The event offers a unique opportunity for delegates to connect and network with fellow experts from across the globe and engage with cross-cutting issues through three themes:
- Scaling strategies for a diverse healthcare landscape
- Innovative funding models for healthcare scale-up
- Collaborative ecosystems: partnerships for catalysing healthcare
