Summit Overview

For its 6th edition, the Healthtech Summit will return to Lausanne on June 30 - July 1, 2015 and will once again focus on showcasing the top 20 medtech and top 20 digital health companies in Europe. The 40 presenting companies, represented by their CEOs and carefully selected by our two top tier Selection Committees, will have the opportunity to network with key international investors who can assist them with their global expansion plans. Furthermore, the programme will see a balanced and varied succession of corporate presentations, interactive panel discussions on opportunities related to accelerating investment in this sector as well as dedicated networking sessions and a Networking Dinner. The 2015 edition of the Healthtech Summit will focus on Medtech & Diagnostics and Digital Health.

 

 

The 2015 Salus Excellence in Healthtech Award will celebrate excellence in entrepreneurship and successful commercialization of innovative health technology in Europe making significant global impact in healthcare. Endosense was the winner of the 2014 edition, visit our 2014 website.

 

 

The Tech Tour community brings together many of the leading healthtech investors through this event and is a key driver of investment, innovation and partnerships. "Building on a strong history of successful Healthtech Summits, this year’s edition will extend beyond MedTech, and will aim to be the leading pan-European event for investment in Digital Health. As US venture investments in Digital Health have surpassed those in MedTech and Biotech in 2014, the Healthtech Summit is uniquely positioned to play a key role in accelerating investment in European digital health companies. The dedication to breakthrough innovation, the collaborative spirit of the Tech Tour network and IVC, combined with the strong interest of both EU and US investors will be a key enabler and driver for growth." Marc Sluijs, Healthtech Summit President, 2015
