The MedTech Malta is an exceptional gathering, offering a unique, intimate setting to dive deep into what works—and what doesn’t—in the med-tech industry. It brings together a strong community of medical device founders and executives from all continents, fostering invaluable opportunities to learn, connect, and collaborate. Giovanni and Dylan did an outstanding job curating the event, ensuring a global representation and an engaging environment.

This years MedTech Malta was an incredible event. I had the opportunity to sit 1:1 with over 10 Venture Capital groups and private investors. In the weeks after, I held follow-ups with nearly all of them and several are now in their due diligence for potentially participating in our funding round. To put a bow on the trip, I had the pleasure of pitching on the main stage in the Pitch competition, which we won! Overall, this meeting was a great event for me and my company and I will be back next year.

MedTech World is the best investor conference that I have ever attended. It offered a friendly environment for startup companies to mingle with potential investors. The investors were consistently present at the event and were generally approachable. I enjoyed the interactions with fellow CEOs. I also found the panel discussions to be informative. Lastly, it was nice to have the prime minister of Malta attend the event to deliver a keynote speech. I’d go back to this event again.
