World Bio Summit2026

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a mere auxiliary tool;

it is fundamentally reshaping every echelon of biohealth—from scientific discovery and

clinical trials to market commercialization and resilient health systems.

As AI becomes the ultimate driver of healthcare transformation, unified global leadership and

robust international cooperation are paramount to ensure its breakthroughs are realized both responsibly and equitably.

Under the overarching theme "Expanding Biohealth Innovation Through AI,"

the World Bio Summit 2026 will serve as the premier global platform to discuss how AI can accelerate medical breakthroughs and

address long-standing global health disparities.

Conducted as a fluid, interactive conversation rather than a series of rigid presentations,

the Dialogue will foster an open, forward-looking exchange of insights,

setting the strategic tone for all subsequent discussions throughout the Summit.

Main Discussion Agendas

“Harnessing AI to Address Unresolved Healthcare Challenges”

The Dialogue will explore how artificial intelligence can help solve healthcare challenges that have remained unresolved

despite decades of scientific and technological progress.

Following an opening framing by the moderator, invited leaders will share their perspectives and

engage in an interactive discussion on the policies, partnerships, and innovations needed to realize the full potential of AI for global health.

The discussion is also expected to contribute strategic insights that will support international cooperation,

complement the AI Healthcare Seoul Declaration, and inform the implementation of Korea's National AI Basic Healthcare Strategy.
