MedTech Convention

This year MedTech Convention is back to shed some light on the new technological developments in the healthcare industry.

For this 2024 edition, start-ups across Europe will come share their ideas and innovations in these sectors. Our goal remains the same: Inspire students with different backgrounds by showing them the opportunities created when the engineering and the healthcare sector collaborate.
