Welcome to the world of innovation

Innovation is the key to a sustainable healthcare system. New ideas, technologies, and partnerships enable better care, more efficient processes, and a higher quality of life for everyone. The Health Innovation Hub Aargau and the cantonal hospitals in Aarau and Baden have made this very goal their mission: Together, they are shaping the healthcare of tomorrow—by having the courage to embrace change today. At the InnoHealth Event 2026, we invite you to be part of this movement: Experience concrete innovations in action, make new connections, and play an active role in shaping the future of healthcare.
