GIANT Health Scotland 2022

GIANT Health
Scotland 2022
14th September 2022, Edinburgh

 
 

GIANT Health is a rapidly expanding global community (of nearly 200,000 people) of everyone who's business is health, tech, and innovation

For 9 years GIANT Health has successfully convened both national and international public health leaders; global pharma and med-tech hardware and software businesses, health sector investors, leading start-ups, and clinicians to facilitate trade and innovation. GIANT Health also enables investors to find opportunities, and empowers healthcare technology and innovation companies to find customers.

The Scottish healthcare and tech innovation sector does not yet have an annual leading blockbuster event - there is no “must attend” event for everyone in Scotland who’s involved in health, tech, and innovation.

GIANT Health is filling in this gap and will deliver the most important leading healthcare, technology, and innovation event bringing together all of the stakeholders in the entire Scottish community to facilitate and accelerate the development and adoption of new technologies to deliver better healthcare outcomes at lower cost.
