On behalf of the chairs, we are pleased to invite you to the 5th UNGA Digital Health Symposium, a high-impact working symposium taking place on 22–23 September 2025 at Northwell Health in Lake Success, New York, during the United Nations General Assembly week.
This year’s theme, “Metamorphosis: Transforming Health Systems, making 10x better,” reflects our shared mission to accelerate a global shift toward value-based, digitally enabled, preventive, and patient-centered care.
About the Symposium
The UNGA Digital Health Symposium is inspired by the 1911 Solvay Conference: a gathering of the brightest minds committed to solving pressing scientific challenges. Our Mission 10x initiative, rooted in the “Stay Left, Shift Left” philosophy, aims to build a health system that is ten times better through collaboration, innovation, and open knowledge sharing.
This is an invitation-only strategic working session, designed as an intellectual supercollider and limited to 36 leaders from health, technology and pharma sectors worldwide to ensure high trust, high capability dialogue and tangible outcomes. Attendees will engage in collaborative problem-solving, each being a world-class expert in clinical care, digital health, policy, and innovation.
A center piece of the symposium is the gala evening dinner on Sept 22, kindly supported by Zebra Technologies, where attendees will have the opportunity to interact, reflect and enjoy stimulating discussions.
