The HTAi 2026 Annual Meeting invites the global HTA community to explore this transformative role. By bridging sectors, informing priority-setting, and engaging stakeholders—including patients and communities—HTA can influence how care models evolve, resources are allocated, and health systems adapt to complex challenges. This meeting provides a critical platform to imagine and act on HTA’s potential to create resilient, inclusive, and future-ready health systems. The future of HTA—and our health systems—depends on the choices we make today.

The aim is to create an open forum for all healthcare stakeholders, recognizing their role in generating, sharing, and using knowledge. This space will encourage scientific debate and open dialogue, reducing misinformation. Ultimately, the goal is to support informed decision-making and enhance public health.
