HIMSS Europe 2023, held in Lisbon, Portugal, brought together healthcare leaders, clinicians, and IT professionals from across Europe to explore the transformative potential of digital health technologies. Under the theme “Health that Connects + Tech that Cares,” the conference delved deep into the ways digital innovations can improve patient care, reduce costs, and enhance the overall healthcare experience.
Despite some unexpected bad weather for June, the event was a resounding success. The two main days of HIMSS Europe 2023 featured a diverse range of educational sessions, inspiring keynote presentations, and ample networking opportunities. Companies and organisations from around the world, including Israel, Canada, Sweden, and India, demonstrated their innovative solutions, further emphasising the global nature of healthcare transformation.
The occasion presented an ideal opportunnity for three Silver Buccanneers to meet up, represent UK Health Tech, and listen and learn from the best of breed solutions from around the world.

HIMSS Expands
Looking ahead, in a significant announcement, HIMSS revealed its plans to launch its new Global Headquarters in Rotterdam, the Netherlands in 2023. This move aims to establish a robust physical presence in a dynamic and centrally located European city. Rotterdam’s association with Erasmus University Rotterdam, a renowned research institution specialising in health information technology research, further adds to the city’s appeal. With regional offices already in London, Berlin, and Leipzig, HIMSS is well-positioned to drive healthcare transformation across Europe.
HIMSS Europe 2023 created a collaborative environment where healthcare leaders, clinicians, and IT professionals united to emphasise the vital connection between health and technology. Attendees immersed themselves in the latest innovations and engaged in discussions on pressing healthcare topics. The event served as a catalyst for change, fostering connections and ideas that will continue to resonate beyond its conclusion.
