Who we are

Europe’s largest NHS innovation festival

Established for 13 years, GIANT Health is the UK’s premier NHS healthcare innovation event — and your gateway into the world’s most advanced public healthcare system.

GIANT Health brings together over 2,000 senior NHS leaders, health-tech innovators, investors, and policymakers under one roof at the Business Design Centre, London every December. Recognised by the Financial Times as the UK’s largest and most valuable NHS innovation festival.

As a global hub for medical innovation, the UK brings together top pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and high-quality procurement resources, making it an important gateway for Chinese medical companies to enter the European market.

Chinese medical technology companies are world leaders in AI diagnostics, robotic surgery, wearable health devices, remote patient monitoring, and digital health platforms. GIANT Health is where these innovations meet NHS buyers with real procurement budgets.

The 2026 China Healthcare Innovation Pavilion is a one-stop platform for Chinese medtech companies entering the UK — combining NHS engagement, a two-day exhibition presence, curated B2B matchmaking, and hands-on market-access support in a single programme. Participating companies gain direct access to NHS procurement leaders, healthcare institutions, investors, and London’s core health-tech networks.

From brand exposure and channel development to technology partnerships and on-the-ground UK landing, the programme supports each company end to end, with bilingual coordination throughout. The Pavilion is organised by NPZ-CCV (NPZ Technology Ltd, Cambridge) in association with GIANT Health.
