New Zealand's National MedTech Resource

The Consortium for Medical Device Technologies (CMDT) is a single point of contact for NZ's capability and resources in MedTech. It is a national industry-research network led by a partnership between Auckland University of Technology, Callaghan Innovation, the Universities of Auckland, Canterbury and Otago, and Victoria University of Wellington.

The MedTech Centre of Research Excellence (MedTech CoRE) is our translational research platform taking basic research into applications for economic growth and healthcare outcomes. Established early in 2015, the MedTech CoRE is funded by NZ's Tertiary Education Commission. It is hosted by University of Auckland with nodes across the CMDT partner organisations.

The CMDT and MedTech CoRE work together to support NZ's MedTech sector.
