The MedTech Meetup 2018 was held on March 22, 2018. We had the pleasure to welcome outstanding speakers from private and public sectors. The day started with very interesting plenary sessions that gave attendees a glimpse of the future and introducing latest advancement and initiatives in Belgium. The afternoon was dedicated to technical, business and regulatory workshops. During the breaks, the participants had the opportunity to visit exhibitors’ booths and get advised by experts during face-to-face meetings.
