Report: Med-Invest

On Thursday 24 May, the Trade & Economic Office at the Embassy of Israel, together with DS Solomon Group and Nabarro LLP, organised a unique investment event.

Med-Invest, the first event of its kind, showcased both Israeli and UK companies, side by side, each of whom were looking for early sage investment in the area of medical devices. This event was unique in that it represented the first truly bilateral event, shining a spotlight on both the British and Israeli medical-innovation industries.

It is a widely-known fact that both Israel and the UK are world leaders in the area of medical innovations, with their respective industries being able to boast a wide range of cutting edge and innovative products. Med-Invest was no different: the companies on display were as diverse and varied as the industries.

In total, ten companies pitched their products to a room full of more than 70 potential investors and key decision makers, with innovations ranging from special tooth implants to revolutionary infant baby food supplements on display.

Each company delivered a short presentation on their product, the challenges that they had overcome and the investment that they were looking for. After the presentations, the companies had a chance to network with the audience over wine and canapés.

The event itself was very well received, and the companies delivered first-class presentations. Med-Invest had clearly created a tremendous amount of energy on the evening as the feedback from the guests were most positive, with many guests praising the innovations on display as being truly remarkable. We are delighted to have been involved in the organizing of this event, which has helped to further develop the meaningful corporation between the UK and Israel that already exists in this field.
