Hello and a warm welcome to everyone.


I am JEONG, Eun Kyeong, Minister of Health and Welfare of the Republic of Korea.


The 2025 World Bio Summit will be held on 

September 17, 2025, under the theme:

“From Innovation to Access: 

Health Innovation for Everyone, Everywhere.”


This year’s Summit will be held in conjunction with the 

APEC High-Level Meeting on Health and the Economy, and 

is expected to serve as a meaningful platform where government leaders, global health organizations, 

industry leaders, and renowned scholars will come together to share rich insights and visions on the latest global trends in the bio-health sector.


The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded the global community of the critical need for joint responses to transnational health threats. 


In light of this, Korea, in partnership with the 

World Health Organization (WHO), is proud to host this year’s Summit to discuss pressing topics such as Health AI, 

Bio-Clusters, and Aging & Health-Tech, all in pursuit of our shared goal a healthier life for everyone, everywhere.


We invite your warm support and engagement, so that your vision for future technologies and insightful wisdom on bold policies can help drive inclusive health innovation for all through the World Bio Summit 2025.


Thank you.
