In a market beset by complex regulation and procurement procedures, the path to success can often be unclear. Frequent failures of small businesses, in the medical device market, are due to insufficient knowledge of how to commercialise their technology and the best route to market.

Medilink Yorkshire & Humber, in conjunction with Grant Thornton LLP and Quotec Ltd and with support from Yorkshire Forward and the Department of Health, have come together to provide a free seminar on accessing finance for growth and technology development in the UK from both private and public sectors.

Presenters include key support organisations in the healthcare and medical device sector, including Medilink Y&H, Quotec and Grant Thornton, along with successful figures from industry who will illustrate their routes to success in developing profitable medical devices.
