Held as part of and ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit – China 2026 later this year, the meeting takes place on August 25-26, 2026 in Dalian City, China. The policy dialogue will bring together policymakers, health experts, researchers, representatives of international organizations, think tanks, academic institutions, and the health industry from APEC member economies. It will provide an important opportunity to explore practical pathways for integrating brain health and digital health into the broader agendas of healthy ageing and universal health coverage, and to exchange experiences, policy practices, and innovative approaches across APEC economies.

EBC, represented by Executive Director Frédéric Destrebecq, has been invited to deliver a 15-minutes keynote speech on the latest progress in promoting brain health and up-taking digital solutions in Europe, as part of the brain health session on the afternoon of August 25th.
