Kia ora,

Welcome to the July edition of the HealthTech Activator (HTA) Monthly Wrap.

The HTA will be at Canterbury Health Innovation’s (CHI) next networking event at the newly opened Health Technology Centre on August 17th - if you’re in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, we hope to see you there!

Our August events are mostly full, with some spaces still available for one of the Medical Software Regulatory workshops. We will host another Health Economics workshop in Auckland on October 10th, as well as an online Capital Planning workshop in September.

You can view upcoming events on the HTA site. We have many more events to be confirmed for October through December. Check back soon for details!

This month we also share a new Global Insights section featuring recent articles and reports linked on the HTA website highlighting interesting healthtech topics.

Check out the links to all the above and other NZ sector news below.
