Health Data Forum Summit · Bilbao · 24–25 September 2026

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Bilbao

The Health Data Forum Summit took place on 24–25 September 2026. The sessions are now available. The next step is to turn the dialogue into a practical collaboration agenda: stronger data readiness, clearer governance, relevant real-world questions and projects with defined outcomes.

Partners are invited to contribute a challenge, a capability or resources to support the work.

What we ask of partners

There are three ways to contribute. Each starts with a single, focused first step.

Contribute knowledge

Bring expertise, a practical case or a framework that can help others understand and address a real implementation challenge.

First step

Describe your expertise and suggest one contribution.

Bring a territory or delivery capability

Help us understand where a project could work and what your organisation can contribute — such as clinical expertise, research capacity, implementation support or relevant infrastructure.

First step

Nominate a contact and share a short capability note.

Bring a challenge and support its development

Identify a priority health or data challenge and help define the resources needed to investigate it. Funding partners can support the movement's shared activities or discuss a separately scoped project.

First step

Share the question, the intended outcome and the person responsible for the next conversation.

A clear route from interest to action

1

Start with a short conversation.

2

Agree a focused brief.

3

Identify the necessary partners and resources.

4

Decide whether to proceed with a shared activity or a separately funded project.

Each next step should have a purpose, an owner and an agreed scope.

Shared learning and project delivery

Real Data, Better AI is a movement convened by Health Data Forum. It supports dialogue, shared learning and collaboration. Where a specific challenge calls for paid project development or delivery, that work is scoped and contracted separately through an appropriate delivery organisation.

For organisations with a specific health question, Atlas Health is one route for scoping and coordinating a real-world project. Learn how project work is arranged →
