About

Connecting Maryland's MedTech ecosystem one event at a time.

The inagural Maryland MedTech Summit took place on April 11, 2024 at the University of Maryland in College Park. The overwhelming level of interest in the Summit led us to launch Maryland MedTech Week in April 2025, with the goal of accommodating more of our medtech community members through additional programming.

Since then, MedTech Week has united innovators, investors, and industry leaders to drive collaboration, funding, and commercialization — solidifying Maryland’s reputation as a powerhouse in medical technology and life sciences.
