About MedTech World
Launched in 2020, MedTech World began as a bold initiative to position Malta as a bridge connecting startups, investors, service providers, and thought leaders in the Medical and HealthTech space. Fast-forward five years, and we've evolved into a global platform - with operations now spanning Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia.
Now, we’re entering an exciting new chapter: launching 4 summits, across 4 continents, in 4 quarters. To support this global expansion, we’re looking for a driven partner to help us grow our business, build strategic relationships, and bring new opportunities to life.
