Voices from MedTech Malta 2024: What Attendees Are Saying

MedTech Malta 2024, held this November, brought together strategics, investors, entrepreneurs, and innovators from around the world. Attendees praised the event’s thoughtful curation, intimate atmosphere, and the invaluable connections they made. Here’s what some of them had to say about their Malta experience:

A Benchmark in MedTech Conferences

Kevin Saem, Brand Founder & Commercial Director at Zapyrus, summed up the consensus among many attendees:

“MedTech Malta is the best conference for MedTech that I have attended in the past five years. I’ve attended hundreds of conferences and they all fall short in some capacity. MedTech Malta offered an excellent balance of size, leadership stakeholders across MedTech OEMs, investors, strategics, and service providers. Paired with very well-curated industry topics and thought leaders, this made MedTech Malta a staple conference for me and Zapyrus.”

Bridging Innovation and Global Health

For Homer Quintana, Director at the Center for Rapid Device Translation at Houston Methodist, the event transcended typical conference experiences by fostering meaningful global connections:

“MedTech Malta is a thoughtfully curated event unlike any other I attended in the MedTech space. It is an unforgettable experience allowing for constant, intimate, and honest engagement with innovative and driven stakeholders such as entrepreneurs, funders, service providers, regulatory perspectives, students, and academic and clinical institutions. For an academic medical institution like Houston Methodist, it allowed a presence on a global stage to share our approach towards innovation and find avenues for collaboration with MedTech companies and service providers that will impact patient care. We want to improve global health by engaging companies and technologies that solve real problems; this event facilitates that mission in a unique setting.”

An Intimate Platform for Industry Leaders

The conference’s intimate setting resonated deeply with Austin Chiang, Chief Medical Officer at Medtronic Endoscopy. He remarked, “MedTech Malta was an unforgettable, unique opportunity to interface in an intimate forum with leaders across med tech. The experience was productive not only for my participation as a speaker, but I will also apply what I learned from my colleagues as I navigate through the MedTech world myself!”

Fostering Collaborative Innovation

Anna Lisa Somero, CEO of Rhaeos, found the event to be a powerful catalyst for innovation and connection. Her words: “Attending MedTech Malta was an unforgettable experience, where I had the privilege of joining brilliant minds on two entrepreneurship panels and the honor of receiving the Best Patient Impact Award on behalf of Rhaeos. The intimate, collaborative environment fostered meaningful connections, inspiring conversations, and an even greater passion for driving innovation in MedTech.”

Efficient and Valuable Networking

Sascha Berger, Investment Director for Biotech at NEOM, highlighted the conference’s well-balanced structure. Reflecting on his experience, he noted, “MedTech Malta strikes the perfect balance as a conference: bringing together a critical mass of all relevant stakeholders, in particular investors, inventors, and advisors, while maintaining an intimate size that fosters meaningful connections without feeling overwhelming. Everything is organized in one convenient location, making it an efficient and highly valuable event. Definitely worth attending!”

Building Global Partnerships

Liana Volach, VP Partnerships & Business Development at 8400 Health Network, emphasized the conference’s role in strengthening international collaboration. She shared, “MedTech Malta is an exceptional platform for global collaboration and innovation. Speaking alongside other global leaders on a panel about fostering global ties, especially between the Israeli and Maltese MedTech ecosystems was truly inspiring. The event’s unique blend of ideas, partnerships, and ambition has the potential to transform healthcare. I look forward to continuing the dialogue and am honored to join this remarkable community.”

A Unique Experience with High-Profile Insights

Hirak Parikh, Principal, Venture Investments, JJDC, Johnson & Johnson, highlighted the exceptional quality of the event. In his words: “MedTech Malta brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders in an intimate setting. I was highly impressed by the immersive experience, networking opportunities, informative panel discussions, and the presence of high-profile speakers, including a head of state. The conference provides a unique global platform for collaboration and innovation. Programming and hosting were top-notch.”
