A surgical trainee by background, I operate at the intersection of MedTech, Capital, Events & Media through MedTech World.

MedTech World Middle East | Dubai 🇦🇪

Over the years, Dubai has consistently been one of our strongest and most meaningful gatherings in the region.

Why? Because this is where family offices, government leaders, private healthcare groups, innovators, and scale-ready startups genuinely sit at the same table — not just to talk, but to move things forward.

What truly sets MedTech World Middle East apart from anything else in the region is our focus on curated 1:1 connections.

Through the MedTech World Match networking platform, every participant can pre-schedule targeted meetings aligned to their goals — whether that’s:
- Capital & Family Offices 💰🏛️
- Hospital & Government Partnerships 🏥🤝🏛️
- Strategic Pilots & Market Entry 🚀🌍
- MedTech, HealthTech, AI & Innovation Collaborations 🤖🧠💡

This isn’t passive networking. It’s intentional, structured, and outcome-driven.

If you’re building, investing, scaling, or shaping the future of healthcare in the Middle East and beyond — join us. 🤝
