Vlerick Healthcare Conference 2026

Health systems across Europe face a critical crossroads: rising public expectations on outcomes, constrained budgets, and the urgent need to transform outdated models of care. This year’s conference explores how different countries, sectors, and innovators are responding to these pressures (plenary theme)—while uncovering new possibilities for access to innovation, prevention, and integrated care (track themes). From European benchmarks to Belgian reforms and industry-led innovation, we will take a multi-perspective look at what the future of healthcare could—and should—look like.
