European MedTech Summit 2010 a Conference to Watch

handshake2One of the fall’s most anticipated medtech conferences is the 2nd European Tech Tour MedTech Summit, to be held September 29-30, 2010 in Lausanne, Switzerland. The conference will feature more than 20 promising medtech companies that have the potential to make a huge impact on the healthcare industry. Companies will have the opportunity to present their technology to guests representing over 10 billion euros in investment funding.

 

The conference is organized by the European Tech Tour Association, an independent not for profit organization committed to the development of emerging technology companies from Europe. The organization expects the conference to provide funding opportunities for medtech companies. Cardiovascular device company CoreValve, selected as Medtech Innovation award winner at the conference’s Entrepreneur of the Year ceremony, was acquired by Medtronic a few months later for over $700 million.
