On 28 May 2026, the 4TU.Health Event will bring together leading experts from technology and healthcare for a day dedicated entirely to collaboration and innovation. We will reflect on the outcomes of 2022–2025 and use these insights to shape the course for 2026–2030. In interactive sessions, we will explore themes such as imaging and AI, health in the living environment, bio-engineering technology, education, valorisation and implementation. This will be followed by a panel discussion featuring representatives from healthcare, industry and policy, jointly guiding the strategic direction for 4TU.Health (2026–2030). An open-space showcase with projects and demonstrators from the four technical universities will provide opportunities for networking, inspiration and discussion on scaling and impact. Altogether, the event serves as a working meeting where ideas can grow directly into new collaborations.

Organisation
Within the 4TU.Health centre, the four Dutch universities of technology join forces to develop advanced technology for patient-centred healthcare innovations. By combining technological innovations with insights from social and medical sciences, the universities of technology contribute to solutions for important issues in healthcare. Engineers and healthcare professionals work together to optimise healthcare processes, putting the patient’s voice at the heart of the changing healthcare environment. By working together, we accelerate the valorisation and implementation of innovations in the healthcare sector and contribute to the transformation of healthcare.
