and Surgery

The Medtech & Surgery Committee supports the development of transformative medical technologies and surgical innovations. With a diverse panel of clinicians, engineers, and commercialisation experts, the committee reviews projects ranging from AI-driven care platforms to surgical devices.

The committee evaluates technologies at all stages, from concept to clinical deployment, and provides strategic guidance on regulatory pathways, usability, and market fit. Early engagement with the committee helps teams align technical development with real-world clinical needs, improving both impact and adoption.

Kia ora and welcome.
