Johannesburg 23rd – 25th May
BIG Ideas Week Workshop Africa is your opportunity to learn from innovation experts and other iFHP members in a three-day workshop designed especially for our members in Africa only.
The programme will commence with a one-day innovation seminar hosted by regional and international experts, focused on the challenges and opportunities that are available to African health funds.
Over the ensuing two days you will have the opportunity to shape and test new business ideas with our expert moderators who will guide you from idea stage, through to proof of concept and potential implementation in the business.
The focus of the event is on team work, and you will work with teams as you bring your ideas to life. However, the programme is also designed to allow for sharing and collaboration with other health funds – creating the possibility for new connections and collaborations.
At BIG Ideas Week Africa you will:
- Hear exciting case studies from experts, covering their successes and learning from their challenges in innovation
- Receive guidance from InsurTech leaders: Tunde Salako from Insurtech Lab, & Matt Connolly from Sønr
- Meet African start-ups that can assist in the delivery of your ideas
- Meet those that are experts in disruption or innovation thinking including Adelaide Odhaimbo (CEO of Bluewave Kenya) and Frederik Bisbjerg, published author, MBA lecturer and with Daman National Insurance Company as Head of Innovation
- Access bespoke coaching in innovation thinking for the African health insurance market
- Develop ideas that are validated internally and externally prior to implementation

BIG Ideas Week Africa gives us all the opportunity to pursue goals of innovation whatever form that takes. This meeting brings together all iFHP members (and would-be members) in Africa to hear more about the future of healthcare, and create that future for ourselves, through networking and workshop sessions, learning, debate and collaboration. I am excited to open the event on the 23rd May and I look forward to seeing you there.
