Launched in 2023, the Innovation Hub provides a showcase of ground-breaking innovations that revolutionize how hospital leaders provide care worldwide. Under the 2024 theme, ‘Hospitals of the Future,’ the shortlisted innovators presented unique products, processes, or services that are addressing specific challenges in healthcare settings. What happened at the Innovation Hub at the 47th World Hospital Congress? Innovation Ignite Talks: Delegates listened to innovators share their journeys, challenges, and successes, chaired by Stanford Medicine. Networking: A dedicated space in the exhibition hall enabled delegates to interact with innovators and learn about change management, impact measurement, and overcoming roadblocks. Congress App: Essential information and direct connection opportunities with the innovators was possible using the app. For the innovators: A pre-Congress “bring a challenge” workshop was led by the Stanford Medicine delegation and with support from the Innovation Hub’s Steering Committee.
