Dubai, United Arab Emirates: As the medical devices market in the United Arab Emirates is projected to reach US$2,854.00m in 2025, MedTech World is set to host its Dubai event, bringing the global and local MedTech communities together at the InterContinental Festival City Hotel on February 23 and 24, 2025.
Following the resounding success of its flagship event, MedTech Malta, in November 2024, which saw 10% participation from the Middle East region, MedTech World is expanding its footprint to the GCC. This strategic move aligns with the UAE’s emergence as a hub for medical technology and innovation, reflecting the country’s commitment to fostering advancements in healthcare. The Dubai event is expected to host over 300 C-level executives, 70+ speakers, 100+ investors, and 50+ startup founders, making it a must-attend for industry stakeholders.
Notably, MedTech World Dubai is strategically positioned around the same time as other major industry events, such as Arab Health, Medlab Middle East, and LEAP, enhancing its appeal to regional and global attendees. Having evolved from a series of roadshows into a flagship event for the GCC region, MedTech World Dubai promises to be both bigger and better, firmly establishing its place as a cornerstone of the regional MedTech calendar.
Why Dubai?
The decision to host MedTech World Dubai underscores the UAE’s pivotal role in the global MedTech landscape. The event aims to bridge the gap between regional and international players, providing a platform for collaboration, innovation, and investment.
Dr. Dylan Attard, CEO and Founder of MedTech World, emphasized the significance of this expansion: “Dubai is not just a city of opportunities but a gateway to the MedTech ecosystem of the GCC region. The UAE has demonstrated remarkable progress in adopting and promoting cutting- edge technologies within its healthcare framework. By hosting MedTech World in Dubai, we are not only leveraging this momentum but also creating an unparalleled platform for the global MedTech community to converge and drive meaningful change.
This event represents more than just a gathering; it’s a commitment to fostering collaboration across borders. Our goal is to unite innovators, investors, and leaders to share ideas, forge partnerships, and address some of the most pressing challenges in healthcare today. Dubai’s strategic location and progressive outlook make it the perfect host for a dialogue that will catalyze advancements in medical technology not just regionally, but globally. Together, we aim to inspire solutions that will define the next era of healthcare.”
Founded in 2020 as an annual conference, MedTech World has grown into a global hub for the MedTech industry, connecting over 10,000 stakeholders across the global ecosystem. What began as a single event has expanded into a platform that fosters collaboration among healthcare innovators, investors, and industry leaders.
Led by Dr. Dylan Attard, a surgeon turned entrepreneur, MedTech World now hosts a series of roadshows across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America, bringing together key players to discuss the latest advancements in medical technology. These events culminate in its annual flagship event, MedTech Malta, which serves as a global meeting point for the industry.
