Research + MedTech + HealthTech Mixer

Tech Central, Australia's innovation engine has a beating heart of medical research, HealthTech and MedTech.

A world-leading research hospital. Over 100 research institutes. Three world-class universities. And that's not to mention the health and medical startups commercialising world-changing ideas. All right outside your door here in Tech Central.

Want to meet 'the people in your neighbourhood'? Get yourself along to this fun casual mixer and find out what your fellow health and medical people have been up to. You might meet a co-founder, you might meet an investor, you might meet a mentor, or maybe even a friend for life. But you'll definitely walk away with a High Feelgood Factor for the future health and medicine research and innovation in Tech Central!
