Health Tech Sessions: Hardware & AI
Gezondheid
Leuven
On Wednesday 21 October, FTI Leuven brings together founders, investors, researchers, corporates and health professionals working at the intersection of health, hardware and AI.
We look at the technology that is pushing health beyond what once seemed possible: AI that supports clinical decisions, hardware that moves closer to the body, implants that restore lost abilities, data systems that predict risk, and tools that change how care is organised.
But the central question is what it takes to build health technology that people can trust, adopt, fund and scale.

Details
Expect concrete cases, sharp conversations and people who are already building the next generation of health technology.
These are the questions on our Health Sessions table, that will be answered by our experts, panelists and surprising guests:
- How do you move from promising research to a product people actually trust and use?
- How can you put the patient first while innovating in health tech?
- How do you build hardware and AI for healthcare without drowning in validation, regulation and complexity?
- How do you convince investors when your timelines are longer, your risks are higher and your proof points are harder to explain?
- How do you scale beyond Belgium without losing focus, quality or control?
- And how fast should European health tech move when the US and China are setting a brutal pace?
What you will get
- A sharper view on what it really takes to build, fund and scale health technology.
- Concrete stories from founders, investors, researchers and operators dealing with capital pressure, clinical reality, hardware complexity, AI trust, international ambition and market adoption.
- Discussions on medical hardware, AI, cybersecurity, quantum, wearables, implants, workplace technology and the future role of humans in increasingly intelligent health systems.
- Above all, this day is about the tension at the heart of health innovation: technology is becoming more powerful, more predictive and more precise — but health remains deeply human.
This day is built for founders, scale-ups, investors, researchers, corporates and health professionals working in or around health tech, medtech, deep tech, AI, hardware, digital health and life sciences.
Come if you are building a health tech product, funding a health care company, validating research, entering the health market, scaling internationally or trying to understand where health innovation is really heading.
