Global exhibition organiser Informa Markets, has launched a next-generation healthcare exhibition focused on future-facing technology – WHX Tech. The new launch is a spin-off from the main WHX Dubai rebrand (formerly Arab Health and launched in January 2025).
WHX Tech will run 8-10 September, 2025, at Dubai World Trade Centre, and organisers say it has been curated to accelerate real-world adoption of breakthrough technologies across global healthcare systems. The inaugural event will also feature the region’s largest health start-up competition with US$50,000 prize pool.
From artificial intelligence and virtual reality to robotics, big data, smart diagnostics, virtual care, cybersecurity, and telehealth, WHX Tech aims to bring together tech giants, health systems, investors, regulators, and next-gen start-ups under one roof for debate and discovery.
“WHX Tech is designed to spark breakthroughs and is an event that goes beyond showcasing new technologies – it’s about turning ideas into actionable solutions that address the real-world challenges facing global healthcare,” said Solenne Singer, senior vice-president, Informa Markets.
“We’re not just reflecting on where healthcare is heading; we’re actively shaping its future,” Singer added.
Organisers expect over 300 exhibitors and an audience of 5,000-plus healthcare leaders, innovators, and disruptors to attend the show, which promises an immersive experience with digital health-tech demonstrations, experiential zones, curated conferences, and immersive hospital simulations.
Speakers lined up include professor Shafi Ahmed, award winning surgeon, teacher and entrepreneur; Rachel Dunscombe, CEO of the UK’s NHS Digital Academy, a visiting Professor at Imperial College, and a member of Britain’s AI Council; and the US physician and former NASA astronaut Scott Parazynski.
Transformative stages
The WHX Tech experience will unfold across three distinctive stages: World X, Future X, and Xcelerate. World X will be an international showcase of digital health adoption and innovation; Future X will be a future-focused platform to explore the next two decades of digital health, and Xcelerate is designed as a dynamic arena to connect start-ups with investors and venture capitalists.
“Dubai is a global capital for healthcare transformation, and WHX Tech is where the world’s leading thinkers, builders, and disruptors will converge to chart the next decade of digital health. We’re proud to offer a platform that connects ambition with opportunity at a global scale,” added Singer.
