The MedTech World Awards celebrate the brightest minds and boldest innovations in medical technology, honouring global leaders, startups, and changemakers pushing the boundaries of healthcare.
If you’re transforming health through technology, the MedTech World Awards are where your impact gets the spotlight it deserves.
Judging and public voting
To keep the Awards Gala fair, consistent, and transparent, we use a dual selection process. The Steering Committee conducts an expert, criteria based evaluation for each category, and public voting captures the community’s voice. Both perspectives are reviewed together to determine the final winner for every nomination.
Honouring the people behind the innovation, leadership, and positive change driving the industry forward.

You could be the best in what you do. Your technology could be groundbreaking, your data airtight, your team exceptional. And none of it might matter,…
The MedTech World Awards Gala will take place on Monday, 5th May 2027, starting from 7:30 PM onwards. The venue for the ceremony is Hilton West Palm Beach.
Anyone working in the emerging tech industry can nominate a company, project, or individual in one of the listed categories. The deadline to submit nominations will be decided soon, and the deadline to vote as well.
Nominations form will be live in coming months.
Contact us for more details in order to have exclusive VIP visibility during the Awards Gala at [email protected]
The MedTech World Awards Gala will feature live entertainment, a three-course gala dinner, and unparalleled high-quality networking with leaders from across the MedTech World ecosystem.
The Awards Gala has a formal gala dress code. Attendees are expected to dress elegantly in formal attire. This typically includes black tie or evening gowns for women and tuxedos or suits for men. The dress code adds to the overall sophistication and glamour of the event, creating a memorable atmosphere.
Access to the MedTech World Awards Gala is included in the Platinum pass or through a sponsored table of guests.
The final decision is based on a combined score: 70% public voting and 30% judges’ evaluation. This ensures that both community support and expert insight play a role in selecting the winner.
Attendance is not a requirement for nomination or winning a MedTech World Award. Our awards programme recognises excellence across the global MedTech and HealthTech community regardless of physical presence.
That said, the Awards Night is a celebration of everyone in the room and those joining us in West Palm Beach will naturally be at the heart of it. We do our best to involve and spotlight attending nominees and winners throughout the evening, making it a truly memorable moment for those who are there.
