Around 80 million citizens are insured through Germany’s health insurance providers. The 6th edition of HEALTH INSURANCE HACK&CON, a unique format that combines the creativity of a hackathon with the knowledge-sharing of a conference, is specifically tailored towards innovations within this system. Participants are looking for new solutions to further improve healthcare and the satisfaction of German policyholders.
For two and a half days, motivated innovators can actively shape the future of health insurance with their creative ideas, in-depth expertise, and strong hands-on mentality.
