The aim of the free of charge North-South MedTech Summit was to promote and encourage new collaborations between MedTech startups, scale-ups, SMEs, academics and clinicians across the UK. We wished to raise awareness of the support on offer from the NIHR Surgical MedTech Co-operative, Bournemouth University, OVHcloud Startup Program and Empact Ventures across the UK including the North and South of England.
The virtual event took place on Friday 26th November 2021 bringing together the UK MedTech ecosystem with its global equivalents to create new discussions, insights and collaborations. It involved MedTech startups, scale-ups and SMEs pitching and exhibiting in our Startup Showcase with live demonstrations to welcome new collaborations.
The virtual initiative took place on our Hopin Virtual Event platform featuring keynote talks (Stage), MedTech Showcase (Sessions) roundtable discussions (Sessions), live chat, polls, live Q & A, video speed networking (Networking) and our digital exhibition (Expo).
