The summit is being led by Pierre Chauvineau vice president of medical device company Boston Scientific. About the event Chauvineau said: “Over the next 20 years, the over 65-year-olds population in Europe will increase by 45%! Whilst money available in all major healthcare systems is flat or reducing. We are now also witnessing a consolidation and integration of insurers, purchasers, and suppliers. The Tech Tour 2017 Healthtech Summit is the ideal forum where Medtech, Digital Health, Diagnostics, corporates, start-ups, VCs and investors can openly understand, discuss, and debate market trends and review how the ecosystem is evolving to face these accelerated trends.”
