The Ministry of Health policy team responsible for developing Cabinet recommendations for the new Medical Products Bill will be joining Medtech-iQ Aotearoa and MTANZ members for a special webinar to outline what the upcoming legislation means for the medical technology sector with a specific focus on start-up companies.

This day is designed to help healthcare providers shift from reactive IT management to deliberate Digital Strategy, with clear governance, realistic investment and staged implementation. No technical experience or assumed knowledge of digital health required.

You’re invited to the Medtech iQ meets Taiawa – Wellington Tech Hub Stakeholder Meeting, an opportunity to learn about Taiawa, a new initiative supporting startup innovation across the Wellington region. The event will introduce Taiawa’s role in fostering emerging ventures across a range of technology sectors—including health and medtech—and how the hub connects founders, researchers, investors, and industry partners. Alongside this introduction, several local startups will present short snapshots of their work, offering insight into the kinds of ventures emerging from different channels in the region’s innovation ecosystem. The afternoon concludes with coffee and networking, providing time to meet others working across technology, research, design, and entrepreneurship.
