M42 to showcase AI-driven health intelligence at Abu Dhabi Future Health Summit

M42 will showcase its healthcare, genomics and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities at the Abu Dhabi Future Health Summit 2026, where it is participating as a founding partner.

The summit will take place from 20 to 22 October at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, bringing together healthcare leaders and industry representatives to discuss developments in health innovation. The 2026 event will be held under the theme “To Sense is to Predict”, highlighting the growing focus on predictive and preventive approaches to healthcare.

M42 said it would demonstrate how its capabilities across clinical care, genomics, biobanking, AI and digital health could support earlier identification of health risks and more personalised approaches to treatment.

Under the banner “One Ecosystem. One Intelligence. One Healthier Life”, the organisation also plans to contribute to discussions on the development of healthcare systems, medical innovation and workforce capabilities. It said it would make announcements relating to its growth, collaborations and innovations during the three-day event.

“The future of health will not be shaped by any single technology or breakthrough, but by connecting intelligence across the health ecosystem and translating it into earlier risk identification, preventive interventions and precision care,” said Dimitris Moulavasilis, group chief executive officer of M42.

The summit is hosted by the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi under the patronage of Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council. It forms part of Future Health, a global initiative led by Abu Dhabi that aims to connect healthcare stakeholders and advance innovation.

M42 said its participation reflected its focus on moving healthcare towards models that place greater emphasis on prevention, prediction and personalised care, rather than primarily responding to illness after it develops.

The 2026 summit is expected to attract 16,000 attendees and 300 speakers from 100 countries. Its 2025 edition welcomed more than 14,000 visitors and 271 speakers representing 95 countries.
