INSEAD Healthcare Club – Singapore

The healthcare industry stands on the brink of a technological revolution, particularly exemplified by the impact of generative AI on Biotech Pharma. The use of AI in this sector has the potential to significantly accelerate research and clinical trials, thereby reducing the time and cost associated with bringing new treatments to market. In Asia, where a large population grapples with limited affordability, there is a pressing need for innovative Medtech/Digital Health solutions for diagnosis, treatment support, and prevention, as well as strategic market access programs to make expensive medicines more accessible. Additionally, there is a growing shift towards preventive precision medicine, which aims to keep people healthier and reduce medical costs.

I will endeavor to encourage the community to foster a culture of innovation and mutual support, leveraging the diverse experiences and insights of our alumni. Although still in the conceptual phase, the prospect of working with different clubs, promoting cross-border collaboration, and forming a healthcare angel investment community offers an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Our goal is to contribute significantly to the healthcare sector, bolster INSEAD’s esteemed reputation in this field, and deliver lasting benefits to society.

Vision
To establish a regionally (or globally) recognized platform that inspires professional development, fuels innovation, and fosters deeper relationships among a growing community of INSEAD healthcare alumni.

Mission
Our mission is to cultivate an environment that empowers INSEAD healthcare alumni, facilitates vibrant networking opportunities, promotes innovation, and builds a more inclusive and connected alumni community.

Events

  • Monthly social gatherings, scheduled for the last Wednesday of each month
  • Lecture/panel discussion events
