Med-Tech Innovation Expo is the UK & Ireland’s leading event for medical device design and manufacturing technology.
Find out how the latest, futuristic and cutting-edge medical devices were conceived, from idea through to development, and commercialisation. Learn about the clinical trials process, regulatory hurdles, usability testing, materials compliance and much more from those who have travelled the road to commercialisation and scale-up. For 2021, the HealthTech Stage will also include presentations specifically dedicated to digital health products and drug delivery technologies.
