SYMBIOSIS–SOLIXEMPOWER TECH CONCLAVE 2026 is a multidisciplinary event at the intersection of Healthcare, Technology, Data, AI and Innovation.
As technology continues to reshape the way healthcare is delivered, taught and researched, the Conclave brings together clinicians, academicians, researchers, technologists, industry leaders, innovators and students to explore what comes next.
The three-day experience moves from CONNECTCREATETRANSFORM. It will connect people and ideas, create solutions through collaboration and explore how promising ideas can move towards future applications through the one of its own kind of hackathon.
The Conclave is designed as an ecosystem, not a sponsor wall. Partners can bring a problem, technology, capability, research question, mentor, demonstration, network or pathway to scale — and participate in the innovation journey itself.

This is not a conventional hackathon where technology searches for a problem. It is a MedTech innovation challenge where healthcare problems provide the starting point and multidisciplinary teams work towards solutions that simplify medical innovation, accelerate its real-world adoption, and enable scalable impact across healthcare.
A successful outcome may include:
- A validated concept
- A clinical workflow solution
- A digital health intervention
- A medical-device concept
- A data or AI application
- A simulation
- A clinical decision-support approach
- Any other workable solution that meaningfully addresses the challenge.
