Healthcare Week Luxembourg (HWL) aims to develop the cooperation between players in the sector in the Greater Region, which has almost 12 million inhabitants in Luxembourg and with its neighbors in France, Germany, and Belgium. As an incubator for ideas, partnerships and innovation, the event aims to help shape a stronger and more resilient healthcare ecosystem, provide a model for Europe, and attract the attention of leading European healthcare professionals, companies, investors, and start-ups. 

“In September 2023, the first edition of Healthcare Week Luxembourg was a great success and attracted more than 2,500 visitors, proving the healthcare sector's interest in this type of event. The future of healthcare in the Greater Region lies in placing value creation at the heart of the system. To achieve this objective, it is crucial to rethink the healthcare ecosystem towards a personalized and sustainable medicine, exploiting organizational, therapeutic, technological, and artificial intelligence advances to innovate and create value for patients, professionals, institutions, and public health. This will be the common thread of Healthcare Week Luxembourg 2024 ", says Dr Philippe Turk, President of the Fédération des hôpitaux luxembourgeois (FHL), co-organizer of the HWL in collaboration with the events agency Quinze Mai (QM). 

On 1 and 2 October, the European healthcare ecosystem is invited to Luxembourg’s Luxexpo The Box for this second edition of HWL, which is primarily aimed at professionals from the healthcare, research and technological innovation, education and economic sectors, as well as at representatives of state, professional and social institutions. On site, visitors will be able to discover the stands of around a hundred exhibitors with a wide range of specializations (building equipment and management, hotels and logistics, medical equipment, ICT technologies and digital applications), but also and above all take part in the conferences, round tables and numerous debates of the extensive and dense programme. The aim is to inspire and catalyze advances, particularly in the fields of a personalized and sustainable medicine, artificial intelligence, the digital transformation of healthcare and health teaching and research in the Greater Region. These topics will be addressed by national and international experts over the course of two days. 

This year, the HWL is also repeating a highlight from its first edition: the presentation of awards for innovative, ambitious, and promising projects that contribute to the improvement of the entire healthcare sector. The prizes are awarded in three categories: innovation in Hospital Management, Medical Research and Start-ups. Submissions are open until 15 August and can be made online at hwl.lu/awards. Selected by a jury panel, the finalists will be announced on 10 September and will be asked to pitch their project to a panel of experts on 1 October. The winners will be announced and the prizes awarded on the same day.
