Wellness for All.

Powered by Intellingent Health Systems

The 2026 edition in Kigali marks a strategic inflection point for AHTS, positioning the Summit not only as Africa’s leading digital health convening, but as a global platform accelerating the shift from care to wellness. As health systems confront rising NCDs, escalating costs, and fragmented delivery models, AHTS 2026 elevates the conversation from treatment-centric care to prevention-led, people-centred systems designed to operate at scale

Under the theme “Wellness For All, ” AHTS @ 5 will focus on strengthening cross-border collaboration, advancing connected and home-based care, and aligning African health priorities with global digital health, innovation, and financing agendas.

Overview
The official book launch event in New York for The Impact Entrepreneur Breakthrough: A Field Manual for the Regenerative Economy.

Fifteen years after he coined the term, Laurie Lane-Zucker has written the field manual for the movement it named. The Impact Entrepreneur Breakthrough is a working book — frameworks, canvases and cases for the people actually building a regenerative economy, rather than one more argument that we ought to.

Join him in New York for the launch, in conversation with Jeffrey Hollender and Sarah Holloway and moderated by Sara Minard: a wide-ranging evening on capital, enterprise design, legal structure, and what this economy asks of the people building it. Closing remarks by Latha Poonamallee.

Hosted by the Grunin Center for Law and Social Entrepreneurship at NYU School of Law, with Columbia SIPA, NYU Stern and Parsons School of Design. Free to attend, in person or online. Books available at the venue or in advance. Doors open, refreshments & networking at 6pm; program begins at 6:30pm.

Registration is required and closes 24 hours before the event. Building security admits guests from a pre-submitted list, so please register in advance — we cannot accommodate walk-ups.
