Welcome to the FHBF 26
Because health knows no borders, France's collective ambition deserves a forum of commensurate stature.
Driven by French Healthcare Association with the support of the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, the French Healthcare Business Forum has, since its inception, established itself as a key international event showcasing French healthcare expertise.
In a world where health challenges are intensifying and global cooperation is being redefined, the third edition of the FHBF, to be held in Paris on January 19–20, 2026, carries a dual mission:
- to accelerate business opportunities between French players and international public and private decision-makers,
- and to promote a collective, innovative, and sovereign expertise that elevates France’s influence on the global stage.
Once again, this exceptional B2B and B2G event will offer a unique platform for high-level meetings and the development of strategic collaborations between key stakeholders from the French healthcare ecosystem and foreign organisations from strategic markets.
Over two full days, the French Healthcare Business Forum 2026 will feature tailor-made one-on-one meetings with carefully selected counterparts based on participants’ geographical and sectoral priorities, thematic conferences and practical workshops designed around target market challenges, and premium networking opportunities — a true catalyst for major projects and new alliances.
The ambition remains clear: to create lasting and tangible impact for the international expansion of French healthcare expertise.
Welcome to the new edition of the French Healthcare Business Forum.
Together, let’s build the partnerships that will shape the future of health.

« In order to support equitable access to care, all players in the healthcare ecosystem need to work together to focus on removing barriers and fostering more collaboration and innovation. Here at the French Healthcare Business Forum, it's clear that there are many exciting projects and developments underway to support better and fairer public health. I was delighted to be part of the discussion and to share with government and industry stakeholders the work being done by UPS Healthcare, the UPS Foundation and our technology partner Promedeo to provide a digitised, temperature-compliant supply chain managed at last-mile vaccination points across Cameroon. I am delighted to have met with a number of healthcare delegates from Africa and the Middle East to discuss how UPS Healthcare and our smart logistics network can further support global access to key healthcare services and supplies. »
