Healthcare. Say the word out loud. Taste the bittersweet flavor of failure. We do not live in an age of genuine innovation; we live in the Age of the Weak Compromise. A horizon of half-baked solutions, of updates no one asked for, of systems held together with tape. ICT in healthcare is not an engine for progress; it is a rusting anchor chain dragging the future to the bottom of the ocean. Today's 'improvements' are tomorrow's feeble excuses.
You know better. For months, perhaps years, you have been sitting on that one transformative invention. You see the chaos, the waste, the endless political roundtables. You whisper about silos and administrative swamp deltas. You thought your idea was too 'out of the box,' too disruptive for this fearful, broken system.
But complaining is the sport of cowards. Talking about change is the fig leaf of mediocrity.
Submissions are open today, effective immediately!
This is the only escape route for your radical idea. This is YOUR ONE AND ONLY CHANCE to demolish all bureaucratic barriers and bypass the established order. Because the clock is ticking.
Most people talk about innovation. Few execute. Are YOU that singular exception?
This is not an invitation for a polite brainstorming session. This is a summons. A call to arms. It is time to leave the catacombs of convention. Do not bring an idea. Bring a revolution.
The most innovative session
On Wednesday, January 28, 2026, from 11:30 AM to 12:10 PM in the MECC Maastricht, the earth will tremble. We are not just organizing a session; we are creating the zero point of the future. A nuclear fusion of brilliant intellect and pure, unadulterated audacity: The Most Innovative Session of the ICT&Health Global Conference 2026.
You get 120 seconds to destroy the world as we now know it and rebuild it. No bureaucratic clutter, no red tape, no barriers. Only your brilliant mind, distilled to the essence of a bomb. Your vision must be so sharp, so inevitable, that it fits literally into two tweets. Two sentences with which you radically dismantle the established order.
But be warned. This is not child's play. We are hosting the most defining 120 seconds of your career. You are about to pitch to the absolute top of the industry. This is the Olympus of healthcare innovation.
The Apex of the Industry
They are not looking for improvement. They demand a total dismantling of the foundation! They want you to dissolve the glue holding the current sectors together and re-bond them into an architecture they haven't yet dared to dream of.
- Bart Collet: The Hyperadvancer. He smells the scent of connections where others see only the chaos of a failed system.
- Gabrielle Speijer: The Catalyst. She forces change. If your pitch is just a slight nudge, she will wipe you away with her impatience for sluggishness.
- Michiel Tebbes: The Futurologist. He already lives in 2035. If your vision doesn't extend beyond the next quarter, he will treat you like an archaeological relic.
- Bart Timmers: The Physician. The doctor who is completely reinventing medical practice. He demands what is necessary for the patient of tomorrow.
These are not judges; they are challengers. Persuade. Astonish. Dominate.
If you succeed, if your vision is radical enough and you bridge multiple sectors with a grace that tests the boundaries of hubris, you will be initiated instantly into the elite of healthcare innovators. The crowd votes with you: your pitch will render the public verdict and confirm your legendary status. The energy will be unprecedented.
This is your chance to transform from a name on a badge to the architect of tomorrow.
Are you the hero we need? Or will you let this chance slip away for someone with more courage?
The healthcare system is collapsing, and we are handing you the sledgehammer. Submissions are OPEN NOW. Sign up and claim what is yours!
