This abstract explores the crosswalk between tech equity and investment, highlighting the role of capital markets in scaling innovative solutions while ensuring that technological advancements do not widen existing health disparities. We examine how venture capital, private equity, and impact investment can be leveraged to drive meaningful innovation in community-driven care models, particularly through the lens of Medicaid and public health programs. Key discussion points include: \- Techquity as a Guiding Principle – The imperative to design, fund, and scale equitable technology that meets the needs of diverse and historically marginalized populations. \- Redefining ROI Beyond Traditional Metrics – Exploring investment frameworks that measure social impact, cost savings, and health outcomes, rather than solely focusing on financial returns. \- The Role of Medicaid as an Economic Engine – Understanding Medicaid not just as a public assistance program, but as a $800 billion+ market opportunity that fuels healthcare infrastructure, workforce development, and tech adoption. \- Aligning Capital with Community Needs – Strategies for fostering investments that prioritize public-private partnerships, equitable digital transformation, and sustainable funding pathways for safety-net innovation. At the heart of this discussion is the moral and financial imperative to ensure that innovation serves all communities—not just those with the greatest purchasing power. The future of Medicaid and community health demands bold investments, collaborative models, and a reimagining of how technology and capital can work together to create a more just and effective healthcare system. This session will challenge investors, policymakers, and healthcare leaders to redefine how capital markets engage with community health—ensuring that tech equity is not an afterthought, but the foundation of a more inclusive, sustainable, and impactful healthcare economy."
