Astronaut Tim Peake to Speak at the health.tech global summit 2026

The health.tech global summit 2026 is excited to announce Tim Peake, British astronaut, test pilot, and STEM ambassador, as the first event’s headline speakers. Recognised worldwide for his pioneering Principia mission with the European Space Agency, Tim Peake made history as the first British astronaut to visit the International Space Station (ISS). During his 186 days in orbit, he conducted over 250 scientific experiments, carried out a spacewalk to repair the ISS’s power supply, and captivated millions through his outreach work promoting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

A former Army Air Corps officer and helicopter test pilot, Tim’s career spans a remarkable journey from military operations and flight testing to space exploration and public engagement. His work embodies the spirit of exploration, innovation, and collaboration, values at the core of the health.tech global summit.

At this year’s summit, Tim will deliver an exclusive 20-minute keynote address, followed by an in-depth 40-minute fireside chat, exploring the theme:
“Innovation, Human Performance, and the Future of Health in Space and on Earth.”

Through his keynote, Tim will share first-hand experience into how space exploration drives medical and technological breakthroughs, from remote health monitoring and telemedicine to advances in AI, robotics, and data-driven healthcare. He will also reflect on the human aspects of innovation: resilience, teamwork, adaptability, and performance under pressure.

Stay connected for our next big announcement soon.
