Handelsblatt Jahrestagung Health 2026 opens at the Steigenberger Hotel am Kanzleramt in Berlin from the third to the fourth of November. The year is 2026. The conference is organised by Euroforum Deutschland for Handelsblatt and runs under the theme of the new economics of health.
The programme addresses the financing of the German health system, the economics of statutory and private health insurance, hospital reform and the commercial consequences of the reimbursement framework. Pharmaceutical pricing, the industrial policy around domestic production of medicines and the digital health agenda sit alongside them.
The event matters to executives because German healthcare is one of the largest single blocks of public expenditure in Europe and because the rules that govern reimbursement determine, more than any commercial strategy does, which products reach patients and at what margin. Chief executives and chief financial officers of hospital groups, statutory and private insurers, pharmaceutical and medical technology companies attend alongside the officials and politicians who set those rules.
Berlin is the seat of the federal health ministry and of the self governing bodies that administer the statutory system, which is why the sector's annual policy conversation is held there rather than in a commercial centre.
The conference is listed on the organiser's own event programme, which confirms the venue, the two day format and that booking is open.
