The GA4GH 14th Plenary Meeting, co-hosted by Precision Health Research, Singapore (PRECISE), brought together nearly 600 attendees from across the global genomics and health community for a week of collaboration, technical advancement, and strategic reflection. The GA4GH Plenary meetings are crucial forums to convene people from a wide variety of sectors — including research, healthcare, government, and academia — to discuss the path forward for responsible global genomic and health interoperability.
This meeting marked GA4GH’s first Plenary in Asia. During the opening session, GA4GH and PRECISE signed a Memorandum of Understanding for PRECISE to become GA4GH’s first Regional Hub Institution, supporting GA4GH’s coordination and engagement activities within the Asia-Pacific region.

The 14th Plenary meeting centred on six core themes: evolving models of genomic data sharing, AI in genomic medicine, demonstrating value in genomic medicine, embedding genomics into healthcare systems, genomic newborn screening, and genomics at population scale.
