The HealthTech Activator (HTA) is getting ready to swing into gear following the holiday period. We hope you had a great break and a happy New Year spent recharging with friends, family, and some summer sun.
We’re excited to dive into a 2022 jam-packed with events – including planned in-person events previously run by the HTA, new in-person events, and new online interactive tutorials. Links to details for the first events covering capital planning, market validation, and regulatory topics are included below. You can also view upcoming events on the HTA website.
In other news, this month’s HTA blog explores the parts of our ‘Know your Customer and your Market’ programme – an initiative to help NZ healthtech businesses in their market validation activities. Below we also include links to upcoming events across NZ healthtech, a spotlight on HTA website resources, and healthtech insights and headlines you may have missed over the break.
Thanks for subscribing to the HTA – we look forward to working with you in 2022.

Know your customers and your market with the HTA
The first blog of 2022 provides an overview of the HTA’s market validation programme, ‘Know your Customers and your Market’. The programme is made up of two parts, a workshop series and a database support offering.
All planned in-person events may be moved online due to COVID-19.
HTA Capital Planning workshop (in-person)

Presented by Tim McCready of BioPacific Partners, this programme is tailored for the specific challenges of capital raising faced by healthtech companies.
Know your Customer and your Market workshops (in-person)
15-16 March, Auckland & 12-13 April, Christchurch
This market validation workshop series is aimed at early stage healthtech companies, or healthtech companies that would like to have a fresh look at their market and how they have validated it to date.
