Organisers of the Healthcare Innovation Expo at Excel, the UK's
premier international healthcare event, are expressly seeking out
the West Midlands' most dynamic biotech and medtech SMEs to attend
its UKTI International Business Innovation Zone (IBIZ) on 9 March
2011.
The West Midlands is home to the greatest number of medical
technology companies in the UK and 99% of these are SMEs.
Recognising that the cost of attending exhibitions can be
prohibitive for smaller firms, the UKTI is working with life
science specialist MedilinkWM to provide additional networking
opportunities and transport as well as offering a greatly reduced
rate for qualifying companies.
At IBIZ, companies will have the chance to meet more than 100
buyers and partners, forge new partnerships, pitch for investment
and exhibit innovative products to a significant UK and
international audience. The MedilinkWM coach will depart central
Birmingham and return same day, giving delegates the chance to
network as they travel.
MedilinkWM CEO Tony Davis said: "Some of the most exciting
medtech and biotech breakthroughs in the UK are happening in small,
entrepreneurial companies within the West Midlands, which is why
the UKTI is so keen for them to attend. But we're very aware that
the time spent travelling to London and the expense of the show can
often prove to be too costly. That's why we're combining low-cost
entry with transport. Firms taking a seat on the MedilinkWM coach
from Birmingham will be able to make contacts and find sales leads
before they even arrive at the show, maximising every minute
they're away from the office."
To book a seat on the MedilinkWM bus for just £5 return,
call Lucy Watkins on 0121 452 5630 or email Lucy@MedilinkWM.co.uk
and register for IBIZ online at www.ibizlifesciences.com quoting
reference code UKTIPR112 to receive the discounted rate of
£95.
