Informa Launches DigiHealth in Dubai

Informa India, Middle East, and Africa (IMEA), the world’s leading exhibition organizer and the team behind Arab Health, is set to launch DigiHealth, a premier digital health, technology, and innovation exhibition. The event will take place from September 8 to 10, 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Centre.  

DigiHealth aims to showcase revolutionary technologies transforming healthcare, along with a preview of future innovations designed to enhance accessibility and personalize healthcare for everyone. The World Health Organization (WHO) has underscored the growing significance of digital health in improving global health security and ensuring equitable healthcare access. According to Grand View Research, the global digital health market is projected to reach US$946 billion by 2030, reflecting an impressive annual growth rate of 21.9%. In the GCC region, the digital health sector is expected to grow by 15% over the next two years. 

Solenne Singer, Vice President at Informa Markets, stated, “Healthcare systems worldwide face critical challenges, including information gaps, miscommunication, and geographic and logistical barriers. DigiHealth offers a platform that brings together digital health and technology solutions to address these issues and define a new era of healthcare.” 

The inaugural DigiHealth event will bring together top healthcare technology manufacturers and leading medical professionals from around the globe. Over 300 exhibitors are expected to participate, with an anticipated 3,500 visitors, including more than 700 C-level executives such as chief medical officers, IT directors, and hospital directors. This gathering will facilitate the exchange of innovative ideas and propel the future of digital health on a global scale. 

DigiHealth expands Informa’s healthcare exhibition portfolio in the Middle East, complementing Arab Health, which celebrates its 50th edition in 2025, and Medlab Middle East, the premier medical laboratory exhibition in the region. 

Singer added, “The Dubai World Trade Centre has long been recognized as a world-class events venue, welcoming millions of visitors annually. DigiHealth will provide a much-needed industry platform for regional and international healthcare sectors to connect, collaborate, and do business with leading HealthTech innovators.” 

Attendees will gain insights from renowned experts, including David Rhew, Global Chief Medical Officer at Microsoft; Prof. Shafi Ahmed, Surgeon and Healthcare Futurist; and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI.  

DigiHealth will feature three dedicated stages for informative content. The Around the World Stage will host healthcare experts discussing how digital health is transforming the industry. The Megatrends Stage will explore digital health’s positive impact on communities, featuring topics such as Artificial Intelligence and health in space, with NASA astronaut Scott Parazynski as a speaker. Start-ups will showcase their healthcare innovations on the World Innovation and Invest Stage, where they can pitch to a panel of esteemed judges. The winner will receive a prize package worth US$50,000, including $10,000 cash, exhibition space for the 2026 edition, and a branding package to boost their visibility. 

Additionally, attendees can participate in Learn from the Leaders sessions, offering educational content on various topics like CIO boot camps and EHR masterclasses, led by experts in their fields. 

DigiHealth will also feature Live Demos, where exhibitors will present the latest digital healthcare products, including VR headsets, wearable devices, and telemedicine platforms. A Hosted Buyers Program will connect pre-qualified senior decision-makers with exhibitors based on shared interests, while invited attendees can access exclusive Investor and VIP Lounges for private meetings.
