November was a busy month for the HealthTech Activator (HTA), with several successful online events delivered across regulatory, reimbursement, and market validation topics. Our first 2022 events are now available for signup. Details are below along with other HTA updates and insights.
We’d also love to hear about your experience using data to validate your market and how our database support offering could help. If you have three minutes to spare, we’d be grateful if you could complete this short survey to tell us more about your journey and needs. Thank you to those who completed it last month.
HTA Events
An Introduction to Knowing your Customer and your Market (online)
15-16 February 2022
This popular market validation workshop focuses on helping you know your customer and your market. It will be kicking off again in February 2022.
The workshop is aimed at early stage healthtech businesses, or businesses that would like to have a fresh look at their customers and market, and how they have validated them to date. The November event was sold out so be sure to register early to reserve your spot.
Presented by Tim McCready of BioPacific Partners, this programme is tailored for the specific capital raising challenges faced by healthtech businesses. This workshop is planned as an in-person event in Auckland, but will move online if required.
We encourage those early to mid-stage healthtech companies seeking to raise capital for the first time outside their immediate contacts to attend.
