Healthtech Summit 2016

 

For its 7th edition, the Healthtech Summit returned to Lausanne on June 21 - 22, 2016 and once again focused on showcasing the top 20 medtech and top 20 digital health companies in Europe at the IMD (Institute for Management Development) campus. The 40 presenting companies, represented by their CEOs and carefully selected by our two top tier Selection Committees, had the opportunity to network with key international investors who can assist them with their global expansion plans. Furthermore, the program saw 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 2016 edition of the Healthtech Summit focused on Medtech & Diagnostics and Digital Health.
