A high-level panel on 16th April will gather global health leaders to discuss enhanced collaboration for emerging global health challenges. A startup zone will provide resources for emerging companies to turn innovative ideas into practical solutions.

The Innovation Award reflects a commitment to pioneering achievements by supporting future innovators. Winners of the Smart Health Hackathon held from 4th to 7th April will be announced during the event.
