The rooms where medtech moves forward.
Throughout the year, MedTech Innovator puts stakeholders from across the medtech landscape in the same room. Pitch rounds, partnering meetings, workshops, showcases, receptions, and finals stages.
Two finals stages close the year.
Each event does a specific job, from the live pitch rounds at Radar Forum to the two finals stages that close the year.

Partners meet companies before the market does.
Every event in the season is built with partners in the room, not in the audience. Strategics judge pitch rounds, host partnering meetings, and set the criteria their teams screen against.
Co-hosting and sponsorship opportunities are available across the 2026 and 2027 seasons, from a single reception to a full finals stage.
