Understand and find your place in the MedTech World

About Us

As the largest MedTech society in Europe, we explore how the fields of Biomedicine, Technology, and Enterprise overlap to shape the rapidly expanding field of MedTech to help our members understand and find their own place in the MedTech world. We do this by running national events such as our Hackathon and AI in Medicine Conference, the largest student held a conference in UCL history, cutting edge talks from world-renowned speakers, networking opportunities with top MedTech companies, and our new online platform, The MedTech Portal.
