Event Details
Returning for a second year in 2026, the Innovation in MedTech and Diagnostics Conference will focus on the most recent developments in the rapidly evolving technology.
Hosted by CPI, this 2‑day event will bring together a diverse range of experts from medTech, pharma, academia, the investment community and governmental agencies.
Building on the success of our inaugural conference last year, this year’s event is designed to be practical, neutral and action‑focused. Each session is structured around a real healthcare need, technologies, short expert inputs and chaired panel discussions that concentrate on what it takes to bring emerging technologies into healthcare.
Across the two days we’ll explore:
- Precision and decentralised diagnostics.
- Chronic and continuous care models.
- FemTech devices, data and early detection.
- Future “big bets” including quantum, engineered biology and AI‑driven MedTech.
