LFH Regulatory is proud to announce the launch of Northern MedTech Connect – a brand-new community bringing together health tech innovators from across the region. The first event will take place on Wednesday 2nd July at the Nexus Building, University of Leeds.
The idea was sparked by Laura Friedl-Hirst, Founder and Managing Director of LFH Regulatory, who is working alongside a group of industry peers to create a space where medtech professionals can connect, collaborate and inspire one another.
“All good innovation starts with a brew,” says Laura. “That’s why we’re launching Northern MedTech Connect – an informal community designed for founders, innovators, regulatory leaders and anyone passionate about medtech. It’s about sharing ideas, supporting each other and hopefully sparking some brilliant collaborations.”
The launch event will be relaxed, welcoming, and focused on building meaningful connections. It’s open to anyone working in medtech – whether you’re just starting out or already scaling internationally.

As well as plenty of opportunities for conversation and connection, attendees will hear from several experts working at the forefront of medical technology:
