Where to stay in Birmingham for Med-Tech Innovation Expo 2027

Med-Tech Innovation Expo is where the UK and Irish medical device industry meets each year. Across two days in Hall 3A at the NEC Birmingham, more than 200 med-tech exhibitors share the floor with 700+ co-located solution providers covering additive manufacturing, plastics and advanced engineering. The show is built for hands-on evaluation: prototyping, assembly, electronics, cleanroom technology, packaging and regulatory compliance appear as live demonstration zones rather than static stands. It is a practical way to compare components, materials and software directly with the engineers who make them. The two-day conference adds clinical case studies from NHS trusts, OEMs and device manufacturers, panels on market access and sustainability, and technical deep dives into AI diagnostics, robotics, wearable tech and materials science. Previous editions have featured speakers from Medtronic, NHS England, MHRA and Johnson & Johnson. Because the expo runs alongside related engineering events, a single badge unlocks a much wider supplier base — useful whether you are scoping a new production line, sourcing a specialist component or preparing a device launch across the UK and Ireland.
