HPE Europe 2026

HPE Europe 2026 is one of the leading gatherings for healthcare private equity investors, operators and advisers across Europe.

Hosted by McDermott Will & Schulte at The Peninsula London, HPE Europe is part of McDermott’s renowned Healthcare Private Equity series, which also spans flagship events in Miami and New York. The 2026 edition convenes senior executives, founders, investors and advisors from across the globe for a full day dedicated to Europe’s evolving healthcare investment landscape.

The agenda covers everything from capital formation and deal strategy to the regulatory developments and sector opportunities currently shaping value creation across European healthcare. Building on last year’s conversations around outpatient care, AI-enabled services, and the ongoing talent and workforce challenges facing the sector, HPE Europe 2026 promises to dig into where the next wave of investment activity — and dealmaking — is likely to emerge, from mental health and women’s health to specialist clinics in ophthalmology, fertility, orthopaedics and dermatology.

As a firm that lives and breathes the investor-backed healthcare and life sciences markets, HPE Europe is exactly the kind of room we want to be in. It’s where many of the conversations that later become search mandates first start to take shape – whether that’s a PE house thinking ahead to a new CEO appointment post-acquisition, or an operator scoping out the leadership team needed to execute an ambitious growth strategy. We’ll be there to connect with the dealmakers and operators driving the market forward.
