Call for Late-Breaker Speakers & Poster Presentations | Breakthrough Alliance Europe Conference 2026 | Learn more & Apply now!

From March 31–April 2 in Paris, HITLAB will convene innovators, investors, and healthcare leaders at Breakthrough Alliance Europe at Hôtel-Dieu, Paris.

This is where validated digital health technologies — backed by clinical data, real-world evidence (RWE), regulatory alignment, and commercial traction — take center stage.

We are now opening a Call for Late-Breaker Speakers & Poster Presentations.

🔎 What We’re Looking For:

We are seeking founders, researchers, hospital innovators, and investors advancing:

• Clinical validation & measurable real-world results
• Health economics, reimbursement, and value-based care models
• Responsible AI in healthcare & regulatory alignment (EU + U.S.)
• Deployment-ready digital health & medtech solutions
• Evidence-driven scale across Europe

If your technology is validated, implemented, and delivering outcomes — this is your stage.

🌍 Why Participate?

• High-level keynotes & panels on scaling digital health across Europe
• Showcases of proven, outcomes-driven solutions
• Strategic discussions on bridging Europe and the U.S. health innovation ecosystems
• Curated networking with investors, accelerators, hospital executives, and corporate leaders
• Visibility in one of Europe’s most iconic healthcare venues

👉 This is not a pitch stage.
👉 This is a proof stage.

If you’re building — or backing — technology that works, join us in Paris.

👉 Submit your Late-Breaker proposal today: https://www.hitlab.org/get-involved/bta-eur-con-26-speak/
