MedTech Accelerator Rapid Regulatory Support (MARRS) Programme Showcase Celebration Event

Join us in London for a celebratory event marking the success of the MedTech Accelerator Rapid Regulatory Support (MARRS) Programme.

Launched in October 2024, the MARRS Programme has supported over 100 HealthTech SMEs, helping them commercialise new products or re-register existing ones in line with evolving regulatory requirements. Eligible businesses have accessed up to £30,000 in funding to work with expert regulatory affairs providers.

At this relaxed evening drinks reception, you’ll hear inspiring stories from some of the SMEs we’ve supported, the challenges they’ve faced, how they’ve overcome them, and the difference the MARRS grant has made.

This is an invite-only event with limited spaces, available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Guests attending the reception will also have the opportunity to join The MedTech & Diagnostics Conference 2025 taking place at the same venue earlier that day and on 22 October 2025.
