The Commercialising Medical Technology seminar will provide participants with an understanding of the medical device market to increase their chances of successfully commercialising products and services; outlining current issues and providing advice on the best routes to success, with a focus on raising equity finance and sourcing grant funding for R&D opportunities.
With one of the UK’s highest concentrations of medical device companies, exceptional access to clinical trials, pioneering R&D facilities and Europe’s largest teaching hospital, the Yorkshire and Humber region is at the forefront of the latest advances in healthcare and medical devices making it one of the most important regions of the UK to exploit new technologies and market opportunities.
However, in a market weighed down by complex regulation and procurement procedures, the path to success can often be unclear for many small businesses who do not have the sufficient knowledge of how to commercialise technology and the best route to market.
The all day event will describe the current medical technology climate, explain routes to access finance and how best to source R&D grant funding, as well as providing advice on accessing the market and how best to overcome the regulatory hurdles.
Presenters include key support organisations specialising 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.
Companies seeking to develop new products and services for the healthcare market; from start-up and spin out companies, to established Plc’s are welcome to attend.
The event is free and will take place on February 24th at The Queens Hotel in Leeds. Due to high demand, places are limited; to register for the event please
