Through the generous support of ACOA and the International Business Development Program (IBDA), the Atlantic Canada BioIndustries Alliance (ACBA) is coordinating a Mission to AdvaMed 2016.

AdvaMed

AdvaMed is the leading Medtech Conference in North America, bringing more than 1,000 companies together in a uniquely multifaceted environment for business development, capital formation, innovative technology showcasing, world-class educational opportunities and networking.

An event rich in international flavor and featuring a deep, diverse attendee list that includes influential policy-makers, business executives and media, AdvaMed seeks to advance industry discussion from key perspectives through detailed panel sessions, executive forums and more. It is a “must-attend” event for any MedTech company.

Why attend

The purpose of the outbound mission is to introduce Atlantic Canadian Medtech companies to potential partners, customers, investors or other business collaborators to accelerate their development. AdvaMed offers the opportunity to meet with all types of organizations as well as being a forum to learn and keep informed as to the present day realities of the Medtech sector.

AdvaMed is one of the best opportunities to advance your medtech business and features key business development and market awareness tools:

• MedTech Connect: AdvaMed 2016 is the place where innovative medical technology leaders meet for strategic business development, investment and world-class education. Because networking is a top goal for our attendees, AdvaMed 2016 is pleased to offer MedTech Connect (formerly known as MedTech Partnering) – a conference resource tool and one-on-one meeting solution designed to maximize business development opportunities for MedTech companies and other industry stakeholders.
