Building on last year's successful event, the Medical Innovation
Forum is to be staged in Harrogate again on 21October 2008, with
sponsorship from Yorkshire Forward and the White Rose Health Innovation
Partnership.
The programme of case studies and roundtable discussion groups is now being
developed to create focused opportunities for all those with an interest
in health technologies to discuss innovations, fast-track technology transfer,
find partners, offer capabilities and seek funding/licensing agreements.
Key themes for the forum in October include: international collaboration and technology transfer; NHS adoption of new innovations; and emerging technologies for home based healthcare delivery. This multi-format event includes four elements:
Thought-leadership ~ The Medical Innovation Conference provides an opportunity to gain insights from leading clinicians, academics and business leaders who will explore key healthcare technology challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Partnerships ~ An extensive programme of roundtable discussion groups and pre-arranged meetings creates networking opportunities for stakeholders to explore collaboration opportunities
Investment ~ Companies, academic and research institutes and NHS personnel involved in developing early-stage medical innovations will be able to present their investment opportunities to venture capitalists, business angels and other prospective business partners.
Procurement ~ An Innovations Showcase and a programme of workshops will enable NHS policy makers, clinicians and managers, to review the innovation landscape and consider how best to ensure NHS procurement reflects the health gains brought about by innovation.
If you are interested in exhibiting, hosting a roundtable discussion group or attending as a delegate then please call: Jennie Bailey or Liz Humber on +44 (0) 1883 344799
