Introduction


The covid-19 pandemic revealed flaws in public health institutions around the world. Testing and tracing, vaccine development and regulatory approval was too slow. Millions of people around the world lacked access to vaccines and treatments in a timely manner.

However, technologies to better fight future pandemics and increase our lifespan are already available. CRISPR, mRNA vaccine development and genetic engineering hold the promise to fight deadly diseases, future pandemic and maybe ageing itself.

The process to bring better drugs and therapies to market is holding back innovation in many countries. Entrepreneurs need years and hundreds of million in funding. Innovation-friendly jurisdictions such as Próspera offer regulatory Sandbox options to accelerate this process.

We're inviting healthcare entrepreneurs, investors and innovators, to come here and build together.

In Prospera, people will experience what healthcare will be like 10 years into the future.

    More explained here.

  • Roatan is a beautiful paradise island. It has an international airport with direct flights from Miami, Houston, Denver, Atlanta and Dallas-Forth Worth.

    From other destinations, you first fly to San Pedro Sula.

    TIP: Book flights separately from your origin airport to San Pedro Sula, and from San Pedro Sula to Roatan. This can be a lot cheaper.

  • The island is overall very safe.

    We recommend you stay in one of the main areas: West Bay, West End, Sandy Bay, French Harbour, French Key, Pristine Bay, Palmetto Bay.

    Avoid walking alone on long, empty stretches of beach.

    Avoid Coxen Hole, Las Fuertes and neighbourhoods that seem sketchy on foot at night.

    You’ll always be fine by car anywhere on the island.

    You can move around freely if you keep the above in mind. The people on the island are overwhelmingly friendly and most speak English.

  • If you are willing to share accommodation with other attendees, we can book a place for you. This is often cheaper.

    If you want to book your own accommodation, we recommend the following options:

    Las Verandas

    Clarion Suites

    Beach Club

    Parrot Tree

    If you choose a different location, we may not be able to provide you with free transportation.

  • Your conference tickets fully cover the cost of transportation each day.

    A driver will pick you up from the airport the day before the conference (not if you come earlier).

    A driver will take you to and from the conference, and to locations that are part of the program.

    A driver will take you back to the airport on the last day of the conference, or the day after.
