As thousands in the medical technology sector headed to Toronto, Canada for The MedTech 2024 Conference, MTPConnect was making sure that the 18 companies and organisations joining the Australian delegation were given opportunities to showcase their capabilities and make valuable US and international connections with a stopover in the medtech hub of Minnesota, before hitting Toronto.

In this podcast special from North America, our MTPConnect CEO Stuart Dignam caught up with Kylle Jordan from Destination Medical Centre at the Mayo Clinic campus in Rochester Minnesota ahead of the Medtech conference to find out more about the 20-year initiative underway to expand the hospital precinct as a global medical care destination.

Then it was on to the three-day MedTech Conference. MTPConnect signed an MoU with Medical Alley and Stuart talks with their new president and CEO Roberta Dressen about working together to foster global partnerships in health technology.

Stuart was on the ground at the Australian Pavilion and caught up with some of Australia’s medtech movers and shakers including iYarn’s Founder and CEO Lockie Cooke, University of Melbourne’s Principal Research Fellow, Optometry and Vision Sciences, A/Prof Lauren Ayton, Materia Health’s Founder, Dr Emily Zhen as well as the delegation’s major supporter, Global Victoria’s Carolin McCaffrey.

The Team Australia delegation was supported by our major sponsor the Victorian Government, through Global Victoria and Invest Victoria, as well as support from NSW Health and AusBiotech.
