The SME focused healthcare event driving collaborations between business, care, clinicians & academics

Improving health, increasing wealth

A unique combination of a live & virtual event

Over the last 16 years, South East Health Technologies Alliance (SEHTA) has developed an excellent reputation for support of its 1,300+ members, especially SMEs, through its one-to-one mentoring, fund-finding, consultancy and events programme.

In 2020, for the first time, SEHTA organised a major new international event; aimed at SME’s, Corporates, Academics & NHS Healthcare Providers, designed to take the programme of support to another level. We had 42 Sponsors and Exhibitors from all over the UK, Europe and Rest of the World and over 230 delegates take part. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions we delivered the 2020 event virtually.

For 2021 we are aiming to run this event as a hybrid – a combination of a live & virtual event, to ensure the expo can be delivered to as many people as possible – an attended live event blended with the best elements and convenience of a digital one.

Our 1:1 Partnering Portal for all attendees (Sponsors, Exhibitors, Delegates & Speakers) will open from August to end of October 2021 to enable you to connect with each other, prior, during and after the event.

The conference and expo aims to help delegates:

·       Understand: Make sense of the complexities of health and social care delivery, and the challenges of accessing the NHS.  Opportunities provided by emerging concepts like ‘Hospitals without Walls’ and ‘Virtual Wards’, as a consequence of the pandemic

·       Find: Funding opportunities with Investors & Accelerators from both private and public sources

·       Navigate: Accessing overseas markets, in particular the USA and Europe

·       Identify: Current clinical challenges in the NHS
