The MedTech Convention is meant to inform and inspire all students interested in the fascinating world of medical technology. First, some key figures in the MedTech sector in Belgium will give a keynote about their innovative medical technologies, and how they are shaping the future of healthcare.
Afterwards, you get to connect and ask questions to fast-growing, innovative companies all working on various topics within medical technology. Our booth fair allows companies to showcase what they are working on, and how they see healthcare evolving.
Are you a medicine student who wants to know more about what you'll be working with in the future, are you a tech-enthusiast who can't wait to innovate healthcare, or are you simply interested in how you will experience healthcare in the future? The MedTech Convention is the place to be!
