Investing in Central and Eastern Europe

Buoyed by a well-educated and relatively price-competitive workforce, there are fast-growing healthcare companies seeking to become European leaders. So what does this translate to in terms of investment opportunities? This interactive roundtable-style session features a date-driven overview of the opportunities in the market along with discussion between investors and providers.

Integration along the value chain: Redesigning care around the patient
Wednesday 26 March, 11:15 A.M.
Care delivery is often designed around how systems want to deal with patients and not always how a patient wants to deal with a system. This session looks at different models of value chain integration and analyses the impact on the patient, on clinicians and on payors in terms of increasing outcomes and lowering costs.

Facing the dementia wave: Redesigning elderly care pathways
Wednesday 26 March, 12:00 P.M.
Health systems globally face a wave of dementia patients flooding already overburdened systems. How do we lay the groundwork now to prepare? With no cure, treatment or 'wonderdrug' on the horizon, but with promising evidence around prevention methods delaying severity, how can care pathways be developed and redesigned to bring homecare, residential care and investors together to scale up access, outcomes and bring down costs? This session takes a view from all three perspectives to discuss strategies to cope with demand in the short, medium and long term.

Investment spotlight: Aesthetics, dermatology and med spas
Wednesday 26 March, 12:45 P.M.
This vast and fast-growing sector includes aesthetic procedures but also the treatment of age-related conditions relating to dermatology, obesity, vein diseases, presbyopia and dental. This is an increasingly private pay market which is reliant on stable discretionary spending. We look at trends, models and growth rates across Europe.

L.E.K. BREAKFAST BRIEFING
Innovation, Growth and the Barriers to Success
Tuesday 25 March 2025 | 7:45 A.M. - 8:45 A.M.
Innovation has driven extraordinary economic growth over the past few decades, creating immense value for companies and investors. The so-called “magnificent seven” – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Tesla – have grown to be worth more than the entire stock markets of the UK, Canada and Japan combined. Beyond these giants, over 150 start-ups have reached valuations of more than $1 billion, with the majority concentrated in the US.
However, while some companies have flourished, innovation and growth remain highly concentrated.
Why are so many businesses – especially in Europe and particularly in healthcare – failing to capitalise on innovation? It’s not a shortage of talent, ideas or technological breakthroughs. Nor is it a lack of demand. Instead, too many businesses struggle with the fundamental requirements for successful innovation:
- Viewing healthcare challenges too narrowly through a science and operations lens, rather than identifying unmet needs in the patient journey.
- Failing to develop solutions that genuinely delight patients, doctors, or nurses.
- Overlooking the biggest barriers to adoption.
- Underestimating internal and external competitive responses.
- Neglecting to prime the organisation for successful launch and scale-up.
L.E.K. Consulting’s Stuart Jackson, who has spent the past 40 years advising on growth and innovation, will share key insights on overcoming these challenges. A new book, Predictable Winners – co-authored with Ilya Trakhtenberg and published by Stanford University – offers a roadmap for companies looking to improve their odds of innovation success.
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how businesses can unlock the full potential of innovation, alongside a complimentary breakfast. We look forward to seeing you there.
