FUTURE FORUM: Health. Tech. Diplomacy.

Hosted by the German Center for Research and Innovation (DWIH) New York, the FUTURE FORUM is our flagship event, fostering dialogue and establishing lasting networks at the intersection of science, technology, and international collaboration. Since its launch in 2019, the forum has served as a platform for visionary leaders in academia, industry, and policy to exchange ideas and build transatlantic partnerships. The 2025 edition is dedicated to the DWIH network’s annual focus: . We seek to explore how science diplomacy and tech innovation can work hand in hand to improve health outcomes globally.

This year’s FUTURE FORUM is made possible through close collaboration with the Broad Institute in Cambridge, MA, a leading biomedical research center whose commitment to accelerating innovation dovetails with the DWIH NY´s mission to connect science, society, and policy on both sides of the Atlantic.
