The BW–UK networking evening at MEDICA on November 18, 2026 at the Baden-Württemberg joint booth (G24) in Hall 15 will bring together medical technology companies from Baden-Württemberg and the United Kingdom. The aim is to establish new contacts, exchange ideas and identify concrete avenues for collaboration.

As part of the preparatory programme, an online-event ‘Lunch & Learn ahead of MEDICA: Collaborative R&D funding for healthcare innovation in the UK and Germany’ will take place on 4th of November 2026. There, participants will gain insights and access to a matchmaking platform, which will enable them to find suitable discussion partners and arrange meetings in advance. This will enable participants to establish targeted contacts and build on these relationships in person during the networking evening at MEDICA.

The evening will be rounded out with some casual networking in a pleasant atmosphere, featuring finger food and drinks, as well as a whisky tasting hosted by our Scottish partner - Scottish Development International.

The event is organised in collaboration with the UK-partners of the BW-UK partnership initiative – Scottish Development International and the BW-UK-Office of Baden-Württemberg International (BW-i), Invest Northern Ireland and the Department for Business and Trade – as well as the British partner of MEDICA 2026 – Medilink UK and funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Crafts and Tourism Baden-Württemberg.

As part of the BW-UK economic partnership initiative, which was launched in 2020 by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Crafts and Tourism Baden-Württemberg, the British Consulate-General and the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), the aim is to strengthen networking and the development of cooperation between economic regions. BIOPRO Baden-Württemberg supports this initiative in the field of the health economy.
