Unlock Growth: Strategic Procurement for Canadian MedTech
Western MedTech, Council of Canadian Innovators, and Acetech invite leaders from across the MedTech and innovation ecosystems to join an important conversation on how we can accelerate the adoption of homegrown technologies and improve healthcare delivery in Canada —starting with smarter public procurement.
This event will feature a distinguished panel of MedTech leaders who will speak candidly about the challenges B.C.-based companies face in bringing innovative solutions into the provincial healthcare system. The discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Barb Kinnaird, a former MedTech CEO and current advisor to companies navigating this complex landscape, with a focus on practical strategies and solutions for procurement reform.
This issue goes beyond boardrooms —it's personal. Everyone in the room will, at some point, depend on our healthcare system during their most vulnerable moments. As governments increasingly commit to “buy Canadian” and modernize healthcare delivery, this event aims to surface tangible, actionable solutions that will streamline procurement and ensure better outcomes for all Canadians.
Join us for the panel discussion, followed by a networking reception.
