Device engineering and production take center stage across two days in Coventry. The programme and exhibition target materials, polymer solutions and manufacturing techniques that feed directly into medical device development.
When and where to go for Medical Technology UK 2026
Medical Technology UK 2026 runs from 11 to 12 March at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Exhibition access and the Learning Programme are free with registration. Official opening hours are Wednesday 11 March 09:30 to 17:00 and Thursday 12 March 09:30 to 15:30. An exhibitor list and floorplan are available to plan visits.
Types of companies and technology on the show floor
The event highlights suppliers focused on materials and manufacturing for medical devices. Named exhibitors include ALBIS Distribution, EMS-CHEMIE (Business Unit EMS-GRIVORY), JL Goor Ltd, Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials and Trelleborg Medical Solutions. Those participants make the exhibition relevant for product engineers, materials specialists and production managers evaluating component and polymer choices.
Learning Programme and Women in MedTech Forum details
The Learning Programme runs across both days with technical sessions aimed at device engineers and manufacturing leads. The Women in MedTech Forum takes place on Thursday at 13:00 in the Coventry Building Society Arena. The announced panel includes Prof. Helen Meese, Gemma Kurring, Cassie McClure and Amy Newton. Reviewing the programme allows targeting sessions that align with supplier meetings.
How to structure B2B prospecting at the event
- Segment target exhibitors by technical capability. Given the strong materials presence, prepare material datasheets and application notes showing performance under sterilization and regulatory constraints.
- Block time for Learning Programme sessions that match your technology needs to open technical conversations with exhibitors.
- Use the floorplan and exhibitor list to prioritize ten focused meetings per day and reduce time lost on less relevant stands.
- Bring concise technical briefs for suppliers that include tolerances, required sterilization paths and expected production volumes to accelerate feasibility assessments.
What to inspect on the stand
Concentrate on material biocompatibility data, sterilization compatibility, and manufacturing-ready component designs. Also verify available services for automated assembly and inline quality control that affect time to market.
