About the CMDT
The Consortium for Medical Device Technologies was established to help grow the medical device industry in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The CMDT is a national resource linking research activities at NZ Universities and Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) and agencies with companies, healthcare providers, regulatory and industry bodies, the Health Innovation Hub, and the Commercialisation Partner Networks.
We do this by:
-
Providing easy access to research providers in Aotearoa NZ as a one-stop portal
-
Facilitating collaborations with researchers, companies and government organisations
-
Connecting researchers and start-up companies to the CMDT’s wide international network
-
Developing and implementing strategic initiatives to strengthen and connect the MedTech innovation ecosystem
