This event is presented by Project Medtech. Early-stage Medtech companies are expected to navigate the complex process of bringing an idea into reality, but very seldom do they have the expertise, experience, or resources to ensure success.

Project Medtech and our Network of industry thought leaders have organized an interactive event to help founders build a successful medical technology company. The Symposium will include 1:1 time with subject matter experts, industry networking events, educational presentations, and thought leader panel discussions.
