London Calling: MedTech World is back again in the heart of the UK
MedTech World is returning to London!
Following the success of our event last May, we’re thrilled to announce that the MedTech World Roadshow is back, and this time we’re teaming up with Queen Mary University of London. Join us on the 29th of May, 2024, for a day packed with innovation and inspiration.
The event will unfold at the Perrin Lecture Theatre nestled within the renowned Blizard Building on campus.
The Blizard Building was named after Sir William Blizard FRS PRCS, who led the foundation of the London Hospital Medical College, and is home to the Blizard Institute – a state-of-the-art centre for research and education. It is also home to the Centre of the Cell, the first science education centre in the world to be located within working biomedical research laboratories. Blizard is located next to the new Royal London Hospital, in the thriving East End of London just minutes from Spitalfields and the City.
Healthcare + Technology
Get ready for a fulfilling experience, catering to startups, investors, academics, and NHS decision-makers alike. Engage in a day packed with insightful keynotes, intriguing panel discussions, and purposeful networking sessions aimed at fostering valuable connections.
Additionally, this year marks a significant collaboration between Queen Mary University of London and MedTech World, enhancing the event’s value.
“We are delighted to partner with MedTech World on this roadshow. At Queen Mary, innovation has always been at the core of our research, and the need for pioneering, effective and affordable innovations in healthcare has never been greater. We look forward to bringing key stakeholders together at the MedTech Roadshow to explore what we can achieve together.”
Professor Sir Mark Caulfield, Vice Principal Health at Queen Mary.
“Building on the success of last year’s inaugural roadshow, we’re excited to offer an even more engaging lineup this time around”
Dr. Dylan Attard, CEO at MedTech World.
Dr. Attard also referred to last year’s London event, which focused on democratising health knowledge and the impact of digital health platforms. A keynote highlighted the YouTube Health Initiative’s goal of accessible health information. Dr. Vishaal Virani, representing the UK arm, stressed YouTube’s broad reach. Another highlight was a panel moderated by Logan Plaster from Startup Health. Plaster welcomed attendees and appreciated the collaboration between Startup Health, MedTech World, YouTube Health, and Malta Enterprise.
So seize this golden opportunity to immerse yourself in the UK’s vibrant innovation scene, uncover crucial insights, and perhaps ignite the spark for the next groundbreaking idea.
