About
Western Medtech welcomes all healthcare innovators from hardware based medical devices to digital health and In-Vitro Diagnostics(IVD).
Established in January 2024, Western MedTech was created out of a simple and enduring truth: MedTech is alarmingly underserved in Western Canada.
Western MedTech is an Executive Medtech network, designed to connect Canadian Medtech start-up and scale-up leaders with the people who matter most — peers who understand their challenges, investors who believe in their vision, and healthcare customers ready to pilot and adopt innovation.
We are deeply passionate about advancing Canadian technology, and building the connective tissue for Western Canada’s MedTech ecosystem.
Through advocacy, peer-to-peer learning, Western MedTech is ensuring that Made-in-Canada innovation doesn’t just get built here—it succeeds here.
