Health Data Forum Executive Think Tank

Join Our Global Discussions on Data-Driven Healthcare in Dubai
Following the success of our previous summits, the Health Data Forum continues to foster impactful conversations in the realm of data-driven healthcare. This 20216, we invite you to join us for distinct, high-quality events, offering a focused alternative to large-scale gatherings
A Closed-Door Leadership Forum on Real-World Evidence, Advanced Therapies & Data Innovation in the Middle East
The Health Data Forum Executive Think Tank in Dubai is a high-level, invitation-only gathering designed to accelerate cross-border collaboration on real-world evidence, genomics, and advanced therapies across the GCC, Europe, and global partners. Held alongside Arab Health 2026, this edition brings a sharper, more purposeful agenda and a uniquely curated format focused on practical knowledge exchange rather than presentations.
Designed in partnership with Zimam and regional collaborators, the Think Tank convenes decision-makers, researchers, regulators, and industry leaders working at the frontier of health data, precision medicine, and innovation.
Morning Session (09:00–13:00)
Real-World Evidence for Regional Health Systems: A Multi-Table Think Tank
Participants engage in a structured, collaborative format built around four themed roundtables:
-
Pharmacogenomics & Personalised Medicine
-
Trusted Research Environments & Secure Data Infrastructures
-
Personalised Care Pathways & Clinical Decision Support
-
Clinical Research, AI & Evidence Generation at Scale
Each table is co-hosted by regional research leaders and global experts, creating a rare opportunity to compare GCC, EU, and India–UK approaches to data governance, TRE deployment, and translational research.
Afternoon Session (14:30–17:00)
Innovations in Advanced Therapies: CAR-T Cells & Neurological Breakthroughs
This focused module places the spotlight on cell & gene therapies, RNA/antisense innovation, and the emerging Middle East ecosystem for advanced therapeutic development.
The session includes:
-
Keynote on RNA & Neurological Therapies
-
Panel Discussion (MHRA, global experts, and patient voice invited)
-
Networking exchange for cross-regional collaboration
This module explores clinical readiness, real-world outcomes, regulatory alignment, and new partnership models shaping the next generation of precision therapies.

What Makes Us Different?
At the Health Data Forum, we prioritize quality over quantity. Our events are intentionally designed to be smaller and more focused than large industry gatherings like HIMSS or HLTH. This allows for:
- Deeper Engagement: More opportunities for meaningful interaction with speakers and fellow attendees.
- Targeted Content: Agendas specifically crafted to address key challenges and opportunities in data-driven healthcare.
- Actionable Insights: Discussions aimed at generating practical takeaways and fostering real-world impact.
- Stronger Connections: A more intimate setting conducive to building lasting professional relationships.
Connect with us this autumn to be part of these crucial conversations shaping the future of healthcare. We look forward to welcoming you to Wales and Dubai!
