SYMBIOSIS–SOLIXEMPOWER TECH CONCLAVE 2026 is a multidisciplinary event at the intersection of Healthcare, Technology, Data, AI and Innovation.
As technology continues to reshape the way healthcare is delivered, taught and researched, the Conclave brings together clinicians, academicians, researchers, technologists, industry leaders, innovators and students to explore what comes next.
The three-day experience moves from CONNECT → CREATE → TRANSFORM. It will connect people and ideas, create solutions through collaboration and explore how promising ideas can move towards future applications through the med-tech hackathon.
The Conclave is designed as an ecosystem, not a sponsor wall. Partners can bring a problem, technology, capability, research question, mentor, demonstration, network or pathway to scale — and participate in the innovation journey itself.
This is not a hackathon where technology searches for a problem. It is a MedTech innovation challenge where healthcare problems provide the starting point and multidisciplinary teams work towards solutions that can make sense in the real world.
A successful outcome need not always be a finished product. It may be a validated concept, clinical workflow solution, digital health intervention, medical-device concept, data/AI application, simulation, decision-support approach or another workable pathway — provided it responds meaningfully to the challenge.

THE INSTITUTIONS BEHIND THE CONCLAVE
The Conclave draws its character from the convergence of four complementary strengths: a multidisciplinary university, a women-focused medical education ecosystem, a tertiary-care teaching hospital and a global data and AI technology company.

WHY THIS CONCLAVE?
Healthcare is no longer changing one technology at a time. AI, data, connected devices, digital health, advanced imaging, computational science, robotics and new models of care are converging — and the real question is no longer what technology can do, but where it can create meaningful value in healthcare.
The Conclave therefore starts with the healthcare context: the patient, the clinician, the learner, the researcher and the health system. Technology enters the conversation as an enabler — not as the starting point.
This is where the multidisciplinary character of Symbiosis becomes an advantage. A clinical problem can be viewed simultaneously through medicine, engineering, data, AI, design, management, research and entrepreneurship — creating the conditions for ideas that are both imaginative and grounded.
Healthcare is rapidly evolving through AI, data, digital technologies, engineering and innovation. The Conclave brings healthcare, academia, technology and industry together to create meaningful opportunities for learning, collaboration and innovation.
WHAT THE CONCLAVE OFFERS
More than a conference programme, the Conclave creates a continuum from insight to interaction to innovation — with opportunities to learn, question, experiment, collaborate and build.
CONNECT. CREATE. TRANSFORM.
CONNECT is about bringing the right people and perspectives into the same room. CREATE is about taking a meaningful problem and working on it with multidisciplinary talent, mentors and technology. TRANSFORM is about asking what happens next — validation, research, collaboration, adoption, incubation or further development.
Bring together diverse perspectives from healthcare, academia, technology, research and industry. Explore emerging ideas, exchange knowledge and connect with experts shaping the future.
11 DECEMBER
CREATE
Hackathon • Mentoring • Collaboration • Problem Solving
Move from ideas to action through the MedTech Innovation Hackathon, bringing together multidisciplinary talent, mentors and experts to work on healthcare challenges and develop innovative solutions. An impressive line up of technology + healthcare experts will share their wisdom on the transformation power of technology.
Two talks on cutting edge technology in medical kicks of an exciting day when innovation ideas will be rewarded.
FROM PROBLEM TO POSSIBILITY
The journey is deliberately human before it is technological: understand the problem → bring the right people together → frame the opportunity → develop the idea → build and test → seek expert validation → connect to the ecosystem → explore the path to impact.
