Wellington (Wednesday, 24 July 2024) – The New Zealand Initiative is proud to announce the upcoming Health Innovators' Summit 2024, with a focus on innovative solutions for better healthcare in New Zealand.
The event will bring together key figures from politics, healthcare, and journalism to explore how localism can improve health outcomes.
Media are invited to attend the event:
Date: Wednesday, August 14, 2024

Venue: The Northern Club, 19 Princes Street, Auckland 1010
Keynote Speakers:
- Lester Levy, Commissioner of Health NZ Te Whatu Ora
- Hon Matt Doocey, Minister for Mental Health
- Cecilia Robinson, Founder and Co-CEO of Digital Health start-up Tend Health
The summit will feature a diverse range of speakers and panel discussions, covering crucial topics such as:
- Localism in mental health
- Insights from a Canadian study tour on indigenous health
- Measuring social impact in healthcare
- Innovative models in digital health
Notable speakers include Dr Eric Crampton, Chief Economist at The New Zealand Initiative, and Rob Hennin, CEO of nib, among other distinguished healthcare professionals and policymakers. Broadcaster Rachel Smalley will also moderate a panel discussion on solutions for the delivery of primary and surgical services.
This exclusive event offers a unique opportunity for media to gain insights into the future of healthcare in New Zealand and to interact with key decision-makers and innovators in the field.
“What I enjoyed about today was connecting with people who are, in a sense, outside of the government system creating their own innovation around their customers, their patients, their clients,” says Rt Hon Bill English, speaking about last year’s Health Innovators' Summit. “So, they’re not limited by the policy or bureaucratic decisions and just get on with it using their own resource.”
Places are strictly limited. Media representatives are requested to confirm their attendance by Friday 9 August.
