It is estimated that there will be over 640 million living with diabetes by 2040.

That is, one tenth of the world’s population would suffer from the disease.

According to IDF,

over 5 million people died of diabetes or diabetes-related causes.

In Taiwan, diabetes ranks 4th in the nation’s major causes of death.

In the face of diabetes, do you want to exert your proficiency, and dedicate yourself in diabetes prevention, control and treatment?

11th IDF-WPR Congress is proud to gather diabetes experts, care-givers, patients, STB fellows and cross-disciplinary specialists to “hack” into the emerging market of diabetes care.

It is the perfect chance for you to make your crazy, innovative ideas into reality. So don’t hesitate to sign up for this special event!
