In addition to presenting our work, key topics included interoperability, European collaboration, and the initiation of clinical trials at BIH. We also had many valuable recruiting conversations and met potential new colleagues. Our staff were represented on various panels, actively contributing to discussions on innovation in healthcare.

A notable highlight this year was the strong focus on artificial intelligence, which was present across nearly all areas of the exhibition. Preparations for the European Health Data Space (EHDS) were also clearly visible, emerging as a central theme throughout many halls and discussions.

Alongside all the professional highlights, personal exchange was not neglected: we met new colleagues, strengthened existing connections, and, above all, enjoyed a great time together.
