Medical device manufacturer IGIN Smart Technologies is in talks over establishing a production line in Eastern Europe. Appscent, which has developed an innovative medical device for sleep apnea, aroused significant interest among European hospital directors and is also in talks with IMPROVATE over a direct investment by the company. In addition, several other contacts between companies presenting at the conference and attending institutions are expected to mature into deals. 

Leading medical professionals got together for a series of panel discussions and lectures on 'The Hospital of the Future,' 'Digital Medicine,' 'Innovative Medical Treatments,' and "Medicine in the Post-Pandemic Era.' The second day of the event was devoted to business networking between Israeli technology companies participating in the conference, and hospital directors, medical distributors, and buyers from across the region.

Opening the event, IMPROVATE Co-founder, Irina Nevzlin said that IMPROVATE had facilitated connections between over 200 businesses, held more than 20 conferences in less than two years since it was founded, and opened new markets for many of these businesses.

Professor Ze'ev Rotstein,  former head of both Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, and the  Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer, who is a member of the IMPROVATE board and coordinates the company's activities in the med-tech field said: "We are standing at the beginning of a new era, a revolution driven by several trends: sensors, communications, data transfer, AI that enables quality insights in each and every field, robotics, and even 3D printing of tissues. These innovations will be routine in the near future and some of them already are. The IMPROVATE platform enables the spreading out of knowledge in the healthcare system and will help save lives".

Leading Israeli medical technology companies presented at the event:  G-Medical, RenalSense, IGIN Smart, Appscent, Synergy 3d-Med, ALTA Medical, NeoPharm Israel, and Tuttenauer.

President Plevneliev told the forum that Central and Eastern Europe are a "region that is growing dynamically.  It is here where we have a lot of dynamics, a lot of opportunities, and a lot of money available for projects that make sense... The solutions can be found in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. " 

Speaking on a panel on the "Post-Pandemic Era," former Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme called "When you look at the response to Covid-19, there was no such thing as a global response ... We need strengthening investment in regional cooperation... and joint public-private sector initiatives to improve crisis readiness."
