With the purpose of contributing to the sustainable future of healthcare, the HTID will gather together an active community of young innovative companies and a network of international experts from across industries including academia, government and finance.

About HTID

The purpose of this event is to drive and foster collaborations within the European healthcare and life sciences ecosystems. The HealthTech Innovation Days gather the whole healthcare community together to discuss new trends in research & development. They also feature conferences and panel discussions, networking and private meetings between innovative European HealthTech companies, pharmaceutical companies, life sciences-specialized investors, healthcare experts, KOL and institutional representatives. In addition to the ongoing private networking, attendees can expect roundtables focused on critical economic and political issues that impact health technology developments. The HealthTech Innovation Days are intended for publicly listed companies whose market capitalization is at least €20 million, or for privately held biotech firms whose drug candidates are currently undergoing late Phase I studies. For medtech companies, medical devices must have already obtained the CE mark in Europe or FDA approval in the United States.
