European HealthTech Innovation Needs a Lifeline – Join the Conversation to Drive Change

GHENT, BELGIUM, December 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- European health technology (HealthTech) is at a critical crossroad. Despite groundbreaking research, a thriving startup scene and ambitious talent, the sector struggles to translate innovation into actionable impact. Challenges such as regulatory restrictions, fragmented markets, and funding gaps are slowing progress, while the clock is ticking and other regions of the world are surging ahead.

MEDVIA is calling on the 400+ policymakers, investors, industry leaders and innovators to take decisive action at the HealthTech investor Summit held on 9-11 December in Bruges. This landmark event will bring together stakeholders who will define the future of healthtech growth in Europe, ensuring we don’t fall behind on the global stage.

"We are on the brink of a health revolution, but without the right support, Europe risks missing out on a once-in-a-generation opportunity to lead," said Ann Van Gysel, CEO of MEDVIA. "This is a call to arms for anyone who believes in the power of innovation to transform healthcare."

The event will feature:
• Panel Discussions: Thought leaders tackling Europe’s unique challenges and opportunities in HealthTech.
