It is built around qualified one-to-one partnering meetings that connect early to growth-stage companies in biotech, medtech, pharmatech and digital health with investors and strategic partners. The event runs a city-rotating European format, moving from London to Lisbon in 2026 and to Lyon for 2027, where the main congress is scheduled for 7 to 8 April with a company-only pre-day on 6 April. The organiser reports more than 1,500 senior attendees, 500 investors and 4,000 partnering meetings. ## What LSX World Congress Europe is for LSX exists for dealmaking and fundraising rather than continuing education. Its centre of gravity is the partnering platform, where founders and business development leads meet investors in scheduled one-to-one sessions, supported by thought-leadership content, panels and pitch opportunities. For a digital health or medtech company, the value is investor access and partnership conversations at the seed to Series B stage, which makes it a strategy and capital event rather than a product showcase. ## Who attends LSX World Congress Europe - Founders and chief executives of biotech, medtech and digital health companies - Venture capital, growth and corporate investors - Business development and corporate strategy leads - Pharmatech and healthtech executives - Analysts and advisers to the life-science sector ## What LSX World Congress Europe covers programmatically The programme is organised into leader tracks: - Pharmatech Leaders, covering digital transformation and AI integration, clinical innovation and partnership strategies - Biotech Leaders, covering early innovation, capital markets and commercialisation - Medtech Leaders, covering investment, market access and growth areas - Cross-cutting content on fundraising from seed to Series B and investor to founder dealmaking ## Programme tracks and special formats Alongside the partnering platform, LSX runs expert insight sessions with interactive question and answer formats, panel discussions, real-world case studies, partnering booths, innovation showcases and company pitch sessions. A pre-day forum the day before the main congress is restricted to life-science companies. ## Notable participants The event is attended at senior level across the sector. Organisations represented at the 2026 edition included Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Baxter, Elekta and Servier, alongside investors such as Novo Holdings, Gilde Healthcare and Forbion. A 2027 speaker roster is not yet published. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### Is LSX a conference or a partnering event? Primarily a partnering event. The content programme is real, but the core of LSX is the qualified one-to-one partnering platform and investor access, which is what most attendees come for. ### How does digital health fit in? Digital health companies are a named target segment alongside biotech, medtech and pharmatech, and AI and digital transformation are covered inside the Pharmatech Leaders track rather than on a standalone AI stage. ### Who is LSX NOT designed for? - Attendees seeking a clinical or scientific poster conference - Buyers looking for a large exhibition floor - Teams outside the investment and partnering cycle ## The venue: Lyon The 2027 edition moves to Lyon, France, a recognised European life-science cluster, with the specific venue to be confirmed by the organiser. The 2026 edition was held at the Lisbon Congress Centre. ## The organiser: Informa Connect LSX World Congress is organised by Informa Connect, part of Informa, building on the legacy LSX brand formerly known as Biotech and Money. Informa Connect also runs a US sibling event, LSX Congress USA. --- ## Editorial take *LSX World Congress Europe is the partnering and investment counterpart to Europe's science conferences, a curated room of 500-plus investors where digital health and AI sit inside the pharmatech track rather than on a separate stage.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is through the official website.
