“The TechMed Event pays a lot of attention to practical application: how medical innovation from the collaboration between technicians and clinicians can be deployed more quickly. Developing a business case is a common thread through the program. And there are many opportunities for networking (pitch the crowd sessions, Innovation tours, matchmaking meetings and more) to find potential new partners,” says World Trade Center Twente CEO Freerk Faber.
Inspiring keynotes, presentations and discussions
