The Catalyst, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE4 5TG

This two-day hybrid event, hosted by NIHR Innovation Observatory, will bring together researchers, policymakers, data scientists, health professionals, and innovators to explore how futures thinking and horizon scanning can shape smarter, more equitable, and sustainable health systems.

Tickets are now available, and abstract submissions are open from across academia, industry, and the public sector.

The central theme of equity, ethics, and inclusivity will be explored through the following categories:

• Advancing Horizon Scanning, Foresight & Futures Methodologies – Exploring cutting-edge methodologies in horizon scanning, foresight & futures.
• Emerging Disruptors – A deep dive into new and transformative trends, such as AI-driven health solutions, digital transformation, and sector-wide challenges
• Insight to Implementation – Bridging the gap between horizon scanning, foresight, futures thinking, and real-world adoption of technology and innovation.

We will be an exhibitor at the conference, so we hope to see you there if you are attending in person.
