What began as a casual conversation during a co-working session quickly turned into something much bigger.
Why were so many healthcare events leaving us uninspired?
An idea sparked by a shared frustration, that moment planted the seed for something different.
It wasn’t that the events lacked value, or that they didn’t offer opportunities to engage with brilliant speakers and delegates. The criticism was more about their scale. These events were simply too large, with too many attendees for meaningful conversations to take place. Everyone seemed to be rushing: from presentations to panel stages, squeezing in meetings between sessions, trying to connect with those they wanted to learn from or collaborate with.
Another challenge came from an unexpected place. The sheer volume of innovation on display reaffirmed our belief that Europe, and the UK in particular, is alive to the challenges facing our struggling healthcare system.
But among all this groundbreaking technology and forward-thinking ideas, one thing was noticeably missing: a voice for policy and legislation..There was no platform for those who could create stronger in-roads for digital innovation to reach the people who need it most, the overworked, overwhelmed clinicians, and the patients they serve.
Fast forward a few months, and that conversation became the spark that brought Skillwork and Explosive Brands together with RRSP Industries to create something new: The London Healthcare Innovation Forum.
An event designed to bring together industry professionals, policymakers, entrepreneurs, technologists, investors, and venture capitalists. People who are eager to fund and support the next wave of bold and exciting healthcare innovations.
Our goal is simple: to foster impactful conversations, share insights and stories, and explore how these diverse voices and organisations can collaborate toward a shared mission of improving patient outcomes and accelerating the adoption of digital technologies that make this possible. We’ve brought together some of the industry’s most forward-thinking innovators, change makers, and visionaries for an event we hope will serve as a true catalyst for change. One grounded in the realities of the healthcare system we face, and the barriers that must be overcome to create policy frameworks that empower innovation and fast-track adoption.
For too long, there’s been a disconnect between the very groups that need to be working more closely together to realise William Beveridge’s vision: a healthcare system that provides the highest standards of care to all, regardless of financial means. A system that equips patients with the knowledge to take control of their health through preventative care, and, when the time comes, gives them the ability to act, supported by a system read yto help.
Explosive Brands is proud to be partnering with Skillwork, RRSP Industries, Level39, the Canary Wharf Group, and Benton Creative to bring this event to life and to ignite anew conversation about how we can create greater opportunities for innovation to reach the people who need it most.
We’re excited to hear from our incredible panelists, speakers, innovators, technologists, investors, and industry leaders as we explore how to prepare for the coming wave of technologies that could help realise Beveridge’s vision.
And we can’t wait for you to join us.
