USTIN, TX — March 13, 2026: Health systems generate enormous economic value, yet investment in prevention and long-term outcomes remains limited. Diplomatic Courier, Bayer, and Leaders on Purpose are hosting a Signal Salon during the March SXSW Innovation Conference to explore new architectures for investing in human health.
The Health Dividend Signal Salon will bring together a highly curated group of luminaries from finance, frontier health systems, and global institutions who will examine how maternal health, preventative systems, and human vitality underpin resilient economies yet remain significantly undercapitalized within global markets.
Among the questions to be addressed:
- How can we frame health outcomes as a credible, investable asset class?
- What new innovative instruments can help transform how health systems measure and reward wellbeing?
Dialogue will center around emerging concepts linked to investor returns, and how advancements can help position population health as a foundational pillar of long-term economic resilience.
Featured speakers include:
- Daniella Foster | Bayer SVP, Global Head, Public Affairs, Market Access & Sustainability (Co–Host)
- Ana C. Rold | Diplomatic Courier and World in 2050 CEO and Founder (Co–Host and Moderator)
- Amy Peck | EndeavorXR CEO and Founder
- Dr. Aneil Mallavarapu | Humain Ventures Managing Partner
