The Investor Hypothetical challenges the way we think about how MedTech start-ups are funded, scaled, and exited. The session walks through the life cycle of a MedTech company, from idea to public listing or trade sale, using live pitches, real funding milestones, and mock investor scenarios.
Designed as an interactive alternative to traditional panels, the goal is to unpack the real-world decisions — and dilemmas — that founders, investors, and advisors face at each stage: from MVP to raising capital, navigating term sheets, and preparing for exit. We want to demystify what makes a venture ‘investable’, highlight the tensions between innovation and investor risk appetite, and examine whether our current system sets Australian companies up for long-term success — or offshore exit.
Participants will include start-ups, incubators, angel and venture capital investors, strategic acquirers, and public market experts from Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. It will be high-energy, interactive, and designed to spark candid insights into what it takes to fund and scale successful MedTech ventures.

As innovation in medical technology accelerates, health systems around the world face growing pressure to make timely, evidence-based decisions about access and reimbursement. Yet traditional health technology assessment (HTA) frameworks often struggle to keep pace – particularly in their ability to incorporate real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE).
This session will explore how smarter, more adaptive approaches to evidence generation and evaluation can unlock faster, fairer access to medical technologies. Through a series of short presentations and a panel discussion, MedTech leaders will examine:
– The current barriers to RWE adoption in HTA and payer decision-making.
– Emerging frameworks that expand the definition of value to include social and system-level outcomes.
– Real-world examples of how clinical registry data and collaborative evidence models have supported successful reimbursement decisions in Australia (and beyond).
Attendees will gain practical insights into what both policymakers and industry can do to align on evidence expectations, build trust in evolving data sources, and together create a future-ready HTA ecosystem that delivers better outcomes for Australian patients.

Within the world of digital health technologies, the number of portable and digital wearables are growing exponentially however most if not all of these technologies require the use of their own specific and proprietary digital Apps. Has anyone stopped to think about the User requirements and how a single GP or medical specialist is meant to be able to access their patient data without having to download thousands of Apps?
Abbott Diagnostics are a global provider of CGM, Continuous Global Monitoring technologies for people living with Diabetes. Vidya from Nethealth has recognised this problem and developed a technology that is now being implemented in the Australian healthcare system. Prof Brinkworth from Diabetes Australia is responsible for research funded by Diabetes Australia, a patient member association with more than 300,000 members.
This panel discussion will identify the speed of technology becoming available, the challenge of how to manage these if you’re a clinician and the benefits of when industry, research and innovation collaborate.
