The global healthcare sector is rapidly evolving, driven by the increasing need for scalable, tech-enabled solutions. Digital health is now an essential priority, with governments and businesses shifting from ambition to action. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, particularly the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, is emerging as a hub for health tech innovation, with investments pouring into AI-powered diagnostics, smart hospitals, and digital care platforms.
In line with this momentum, WHX Tech will launch in Dubai from 8–10 September 2025, a pioneering event designed to fast-track digital health adoption and cross-border partnerships. The event will bring together innovators, investors, healthcare leaders, and policymakers to showcase transformative technologies.
WHX Tech is part of WHX, the world’s largest network of healthcare events, and will be organized in partnership with HIMSS, the global authority in health information and technology. Building on the success of WHX Dubai (formerly Arab Health), the event aims to accelerate collaboration and bring the most advanced technologies to the forefront of digital health.
With over 300 exhibitors and more than 5,000 health tech leaders expected to attend, WHX Tech is more than just a trade show—it’s a platform designed to catalyze collaboration and growth for startups, investors, and healthcare professionals.
Dubai was chosen as the ideal location for WHX Tech due to its status as a global business and innovation hub, with a robust digital infrastructure and government initiatives like the Dubai Health Strategy 2026 and the Dubai Future Foundation’s healthcare sandbox supporting the city’s leadership in the sector.
The event will feature three core stages: World X, Future X, and Xcelerate, each showcasing smart hospital implementations, cutting-edge biotech, and the latest in AI-driven healthcare solutions. The Xcelerate Zone will host the region’s largest digital health startup competition, offering a $50,000 prize and opportunities for startups to pitch to global investors.
What sets WHX Tech apart is its purpose-driven approach, supported by a world-class advisory board featuring leaders from Microsoft, AWS, Frost & Sullivan, and NEOM. The event will address key challenges in healthcare, such as access, ethics, regulation, and data interoperability, fostering global collaboration and shaping the future of healthcare systems.
WHX Tech is poised to be a pivotal moment in the healthcare revolution, turning global ambition into actionable impact. Join us in Dubai to be part of the digital healthcare revolution.
