Will we see the first $30B healthtech company?

What happens when major industry shifts move from mere headlines to market realities? In this segment of the webinar, the panel dives into a massive potential consolidation on the horizon for early 2026.

The speakers contrast short-term venture capital plays with major institutional movements—noting that the market has lacked a stable, long-term asset equivalent to legacy giants like Cerner for a while. Despite these developments resting on unverified allegations and regulatory speculation for now, understanding their trajectory is critical for anyone navigating the massive scope of the healthcare sector. The team closes out the webinar by calling on the live audience to share their own angles, perspectives, and pushback in the comments.
