What is the DUCAH-Forum?

The DUCAH Forum is the central gathering place for our network and brings together leading experts from business, academia, and the health and social sectors several times a year. The focus is on discussing current topics shaping the future, gaining practical insights into technological and social innovations, and experiencing new solutions firsthand. At the same time, the forum serves as a think tank for integrated care and social innovation: here, new approaches are discussed and further developed, and the groundwork is laid for future standards.
Connecting people. Advancing ideas. Shaping the future.
  • Connecting People

    Engage in personal exchanges with experts, decision-makers, and innovators from various fields.
  • Experience Innovation
    Get to know, try out, and discuss new technologies, utility concepts, and solutions firsthand.
  • Shape the future

    Contribute your own perspectives, work together to develop new approaches, and set the stage for future standards.
  • Share Knowledge

    Learn about the latest findings from science and practice and discuss them together.
What can you expect at the DUCAH Forum?
Not a traditional conference, but a space for exchange, inspiration, and collaboration. Insights from experts are combined with discussions, interactive sessions, and practical, real-world solutions. In doing so, we create a space for new perspectives, open conversations, and the question: How can we work together to improve health, care, and social services?
Depending on the thematic focus, you can expect, among other things, expert presentations and keynotes, moderated dialogue and discussion sessions, demonstrations of innovative solutions, interactive workshops, and ample opportunity for personal exchange and networking.

Who is the DUCAH Forum for?
The DUCAH Forum is aimed at people who want to actively shape the future of health, care, and the social economy. This includes, in particular, professionals and leaders from the health and social sectors, academia and research, technology companies, and startups, as well as representatives from politics, government, and other relevant fields.
What matters most is not the industry, but a shared willingness to bring together different perspectives and drive new solutions forward.
The forum brings together people who are working on similar challenges but who bring different experiences, skills, and perspectives to the table. This is precisely where the strength of the format lies: learning from one another, forging new connections, and jointly developing solutions that work in practice.

Issues That Matter to Us
The topics covered by the DUCAH Forum are guided by current challenges and developments related to living longer and better lives. The focus includes, for example:

Aging in Place · Integrated Care · Long-Term Care · Digital Health · Prevention · Social Innovation · New Care Models · Human-Centered Technology · Artificial Intelligence · Robotics

The key topics vary from forum to forum and address both current developments and long-term future issues.

From Exchange to Implementation:
DUCAH Impulse Teams

The DUCAH Forum doesn’t end with the event itself. In our impulse teams, we take up key topics, ideas, and questions from the forum and pursue them further together with interested partners. In this way, initial ideas can give rise to new collaborations, joint projects, research initiatives, or pilot programs. Relevant stakeholders are brought together in a targeted manner, insights are deepened, and concrete next steps are developed.


In this way, exchange turns into joint action—and initial ideas turn into tangible results.
