Description
Health systems are no longer just adopting innovation — they're funding it. As health systems partner with venture capital and launch investment arms, the question isn't whether to engage, but how. Should you incubate startups in-house? Partner with an accelerator? Take an equity stake? This session will explore how leading health systems are making strategic bets on new technology, balancing risk and reward, and fueling the next wave of healthcare transformation.
