WHSI 2026 marks the 20th edition of this long-standing, discussion-driven forum.
The Wound Healing Science & Industry (WHSI) Innovation Summit is a curated global gathering for breakthrough science in wound healing and limb preservation. In 2026, the Summit convenes a global community of academic researchers, clinicians, innovators, policymakers, and industry leaders for two days of immersive exchange.
WHSI prioritizes depth over scale — creating space for open and focused dialogue, critical thinking, and cross-disciplinary exchange to accelerate the discovery and application of breakthrough solutions. Through interactive sessions, translational science, and strategic networking, participants engage across the full continuum of innovation: from bench to bedside to policy.
WHSI champions scientific excellence, early-stage innovation, and impactful collaboration. It is an innovation-forward, science-driven summit where translation and impact are at the center of every session.
Join the 20th edition of a long-running, highly interactive scientific summit.
Researchers, clinicians, innovators, policymakers, and industry leaders shaping the future of wound healing and limb preservation.
