6-7 October 2020, Berlin

For more than a decade, international healthcare events organized by INSEAD and its alumni have provided unique networking forums for the healthcare industry. The Summit is organized by the INSEAD Healthcare Alumni Network, representing the more than 2000 INSEAD alumni working in the healthcare industry and related sectors.

This unique, interactive conference took place in Berlin, one of the most vibrant European cities where industry leaders met on October 6 and 7, 2020. The improved format of the 2020 Summit includeds expanded networking opportunities, keynote speeches, a range of focused workshops, issue panels and - new this year - interviews with industry CEOs.

Incumbents & Insurgents

The summit looked at industry "Incumbents & Insurgents". An aging population, better disease understanding, evolving patterns of care, technological innovation, budget constraints: all these factors mean that future health needs and healthcare delivery will be very different from today‘s. As a result, major change is already underway in the healthcare industry.

In this rapidly changing context, the conference addressed questions such as:

  • Who is driving the change and who will be the winners (and losers) in this environment?
  • Can incumbents adapt their business models?
  • Will the insurgents make inroads into this complex and highly regulated industry?
