Exhibitor Prospectus
A letter from the Editor
Why this show matters
If you're reading this, you've already made a decision, even if you don't know it yet.
You didn't download this prospectus by accident. Something told you Med-Tech Expo 2027 is relevant to where your business is going, and I want to spend the next few pages proving that instinct right.
Nearly three in four of the people who walk our show floor hold real purchasing power. Not browsing, not gathering brochures for later, authorising, specifying, influencing the decision there and then. 42% of them are Director-level or above. 165 are sitting on budgets over £5 million, and they're travelling from 41 countries to be in that room.
Here's the part that matters most when you're weighing up the spend. 1,890 different companies were represented last time, and not one of them made up more than 2% of the attendees. That's not a show propped up by a handful of big delegations. That's a genuine, spread-out market, from three-person start-ups making their first sale to enterprise buyers running long-cycle procurement.
But the floor is only half of the story. The conference is where this industry actually debates its future. Here, the direction of regulation, procurement and reimbursement is discussed by the people who write the rules and the people who have to live by them. That conversation happens whether you're in the room or not. Exhibiting is how you make sure you're involved, not reading about it afterwards.
This isn't a networking event with a few sales opportunities attached. It's the one place in the UK calendar where the entire MedTech value chain comes together, buyers, specifiers, engineers, and regulators, converge on one building and works out what happens next. If your product needs to be part of that conversation, Med-Tech Expo is the place to make it happen.
Driving the future
Driving the future of medical device manufacturing
Med-Tech Expo is the UK and Ireland's leading event for medical device design and manufacturing, a dynamic platform where innovation, engineering and opportunity converge.

In their words
Exhibitors keep coming back
The best one yet! Nearly 100 scanned leads at the booth, a stack of business cards plus dozens of additional conversations. Can't wait until next year.
We're still reflecting on the brilliant experience we had at our first-ever exhibition, the Med-Tech Innovation Expo, and honestly, it far exceeded expectations. As a debut, it couldn't have gone better: so many exciting conversations, valuable leads, and positive reactions to what we do.
It's been a couple of days since Med-Tech Innovation Expo 2025, and we're still reflecting on what a brilliant event it was. It was a great opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new innovators, and have real conversations about the challenges (and opportunities) facing the sector.
The MedTech Innovation Expo was a brilliant event to be able to speak in person with the pioneers in this space. Often, we communicate with one another online, so speaking face to face makes a huge difference in building closer relationships.
We've been coming to the Med Tech Innovation Expo for quite a few years now and we get good leads every year. We come here to show off not only our own products, but also the fact that we offer subcontract manufacturing services as well as our design and development services.
The social media PR we received on the lead up to, and during, the expo as part of our speaker slot had as much impact generating leads as the expo itself. Very glad we had this.
Great opportunity to network and meet different manufacturers and providers. Buckets of useful information, and really helpful and kind organisers. I would recommend to anyone with even a slight interest in the field.

New for 2027
3D Printing in Medtech Curated by TCT
Additive manufacturing has moved from the technology hall to the application floor, and medical is its most demanding application. For 2027, Med-Tech Expo introduces a dedicated 3D printing zone and conference track, curated by TCT, the authority on additive manufacturing for more than 30 years. One stand puts your technology in front of the people specifying and buying it: the UK's medical device manufacturers.
The Zone
A signposted destination on the show floor for additive systems, materials and services with proven medical applications, from implants and instrumentation to point-of-care production.
The Conference Track
A dedicated programme built with TCT, covering what medical additive buyers need to know: regulation, validation, materials and the economics of printed devices.
Reach Beyond the Show
Every zone exhibitor is promoted to TCT's audience of 30,000 readers and subscribers as a standard part of the package. One stand, two audiences.
Also new for 2027
- PharmaTech Zone: where medtech, drug delivery and pharmaceutical manufacturing converge. Pharmaceutical manufacturers already buy much of what this show floor sells, from automation and cleanrooms to fill and finish, testing, packaging and contract manufacturing. A dedicated zone and content stream opens Med-Tech Expo to that market, anchored by drug delivery and combination products, and backed by European Pharmaceutical Manufacturer, our long-running pharma magazine reaching 35,000 professionals. Full exhibitor and programme details to follow.
- Femtech at Med-Tech Expo: a dedicated seminar from Femtech Insights, our women's health technology platform, on the technologies reshaping women's health and the manufacturing and regulatory questions behind them. Programme to be announced.
