From Innovation to Market: Regulatory Pathways for MedTech Innovators

Bringing MedTech innovations to market starts with understanding the regulatory landscape. 

This event, developed in collaboration between BSI and the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering (LIHE), is designed to help MedTech startups and innovators understand the MedTech regulatory framework and navigate the conformity assessment journey with more confidence.

About the event

Whether you're developing your first medical device or scaling an existing product, getting to grips with the regulatory landscape is one of the biggest challenges you'll face. This event is designed to help you do exactly that.

Join BSI, a leading Notified Body and Approved Body, and LIHE, King's College London's Collaborative Centre of Excellence for MedTech translation, for a practical programme built around the key topics that matter most to you, from building a Quality Management System to understanding what's involved in the conformity assessment process.

You'll hear directly from BSI specialists with deep experience across the medical device certification landscape. You can engage with peers facing similar challenges and experts prepared to discuss the regulatory requirements shaping your route to market. And you'll leave with a clearer understanding of what it takes to bring your innovation to market compliantly and efficiently.

This isn't a lecture. It's a space where you can ask questions, test your thinking and build connections with fellow innovators, researchers and entrepreneurs in the MedTech community.
