Description
Next Gen Medtech Exchange Ireland 2026
Where Innovation Meets Action
On 22 September 2026, 200 of Irelandβs most forward-thinking MedTech professionals will gather at the Clayton Hotel Galway to explore the technologies shaping the next generation of medical devices.
This is not a passive conference.
It is a structured, hands-on exchange designed to close the gap between innovation and implementation.
Why This Event Exists
The medical device industry is advancing rapidly:
-
Processing technologies are evolving
-
Catheter systems are becoming more complex
-
Manufacturing disruption is accelerating
-
Cross-disciplinary collaboration is now essential
Next Gen Medtech Exchange Ireland was created to bring emerging ideas, disruptive capabilities, and real-world engineering challenges into the same room.
Proceeds from the event will be used to support the delivery of inspiring educational programs to schools across the west of Ireland and eventually the whole country. Giving back to the ecosystem by supporting the next generation.
What Makes This Different
Most industry conferences rely on slide decks and sales messaging.
This event is built differently:
β Non-commercial Tech Talks focused on future-facing technologies
βStructured βIdeas Exchangeβ sessions
β Live Prototyping: Catheter Build Challenge
β Catheter Delivery Challenge + Winners
β Curated networking environment (200 capacity venue)
The result: meaningful technical dialogue, not surface-level networking.
