MTI Syringe
On the show floor, professionals from all areas of the medical device supply chain will demonstrate their newest and most exciting solutions for ambitious technology users. It’s here they'll form partnerships and discuss the ideas that will shape the future of the industry.
So, what makes these innovators choose a trade show as their platform? Why do thousands of industry insiders attend Med-Tech Innovation Expo every year? There’s a number of reasons, and these are just a few...
A unique meeting place
More than 2,000 designers, manufacturers, buyers, early adopters, regulators and Class I, II & III medical device producers are expected to attend Med-Tech Innovation Expo this year. They’ll be seeking solutions to challenges, looking for vendors, networking with peers and gaining valuable insight from thought-leaders on two conference stages. No other event in the UK brings together the medical device design and manufacturing community in such a way and it’s this that creates such an unusual and dynamic meeting place.
The eureka moment
A vast array of medical device innovations come about as the result of conversations and ‘eureka moments’ at trade shows. Ideas sparked by conference content, networking or even a brief chat on an exhibitor’s stand can develop into tangible products and applications that change the way the industry thinks, designs, develops and manufactures.
Med-Tech Innovation Expo hosts businesses with the skills, materials and expertise to make innovative concepts a reality. This is where great ideas become viable projects.
Keeping up with regulatory developments
Regulation is such an influential and rapidly changing aspect of the industry, it is widely considered to be the most important element of the design-to-manufacture process for medical devices. Just like the industry it serves, medical device regulation moves on at such a pace that conferences and events have become the only practical solution for those who need to stay up-to-date with the latest requirements. Med-Tech Innovation Expo will have a host of consultancies and legal firms on hand to advise on best practise in medical devices.
Exclusive learning opportunities
The Med-Tech Innovation Conference provides intelligence from a wide range of blue-chip users, government officials and industry experts. Each year, the conference programme sets the agenda for debate in the industry. The 2018 programme, produced in association with Medilink UK, will include presentations from Deloitte UK, NHS Digital, the Academy for Healthcare Science and more.
The Med-Tech Innovation content team have also developed a fantastic conference and seminar track for the HealthTech Stage. Here, exhibitors will deliver engaging presentations covering all the latest news on hardware, software, materials and services. It’s open-sided and attendees can drop in and out as and when they need. The esteemed list of speakers includes Dr James Stern from Albis, Professor Alexander Seifalian of The London BioScience Innovation Centre and Ultrapolymers’ Lorna O’Gara.
New ideas, new suppliers, better business
Feedback from past attendees highlighted "the opportunity to find new suppliers, materials, methodologies and applications" as one of the major benefits of a visit to Med-Tech Innovation Expo. Through relationships made at the event and lessons learned from the comprehensive conference programme, visitors can enhance their existing products and services, reduce production times and manufacturing costs.
Med-Tech Innovation Expo 2018 will be held at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, UK, from 25th to 26th April. Attendance is completely free, find out more at www.med-techexpo.com
