The Bay Area Global Health Alliance is honored to be hosting a panel discussion, Realizing Returns: Investment Opportunities in Emerging Markets, at the 2025 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Wednesday, January 15 at 1:30 PM PT in San Francisco.

This upcoming panel will build upon the Alliance’s inaugural panel discussion at the 2024 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, Reimagining Healthcare in Emerging Markets: The Future of Healthcare Innovation and Investment, which presented a compelling and practical investment case for healthcare in emerging markets, as panelists shared thoughts on how and why it is possible to simultaneously achieve high returns on investments and contribute to global health equity.

The convergence of technological innovation, market expansion due to population growth, commercial scalability, and health imperatives in emerging and frontier markets presents an unprecedented opportunity for private sector investment. Across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, investors are funding early growth-stage enterprises leveraging AI diagnostics, telemedicine, and personalized remote care. These impact-oriented investments in fast-growing economies offer attractive financial returns while addressing critical health disparities.

Emerging and frontier markets represent the fastest-growing healthcare markets globally. We are seeing major trends in the acceleration of digital health and locally driven health tech innovation, young and fast-growing populations presenting healthcare opportunities, and local startups making a significant impact. With these opportunities, new financial instruments and development banks are helping to mitigate investment risks, allowing investors to realize both financial and social impact returns.

The discussion on January 15 will convene a high-impact panel that will highlight investment opportunities in global health and explore partnerships using innovative financing models to drive both business and social returns in emerging markets.

The in-person panel is accessible to official J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference attendees only. Please complete this form if you are interested in receiving the link to listen to the panel discussion via JPM webcast.
