Round 2: MTPConnect Pathway to Market - Medtech Capability Uplift Program

OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW

Entering the local health market can be complex and resource intensive. It is challenging to understand what health may consider purchasing now or in the future, how to access clinical decision makers or what is required to construct a competitive bid. 

To address these barriers, the Australian Medtech Manufacturing Alliance (AMMA) has launched the Pathway to Market - Medtech Capability Uplift Program to support local medical technology (medtech) companies in bringing their products into hospitals and health services across Victoria and more broadly.

The Pathway to Market - Medtech Capability Uplift Program is designed to help Victorian SME medtech manufacturers to position themselves competitively for local health procurement opportunities. Delivered by MTPConnect in partnership with BioMelbourne Network and supported by the Victorian Government, the program supports near-to market and market-ready companies (TRL 6-9).

The comprehensive program includes an expert-led Masterclass, tailored practical workshops to become procurement-ready local health markets, understand how to align with hospital and health services procurement needs. Each cohort finishes with an Open Day, where companies present their products and connect directly with major health service buyers and clinical leaders.

This opportunity is available through a competitive process.
