On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are honored and delighted to welcome you all to the Engineering Medical Innovation Summit: Medicine for the Future (EMedI Summit) 2021, an international summit dedicated to the innovation and development of medical technologies.

Having the enthusiastic participation of over 1,200 delegates and 100 top-notch faculties for the past Summits, Summit 2018 also introduced the insightful dialogue between clinician, engineer, and entrepreneur on the journey of turning research & development efforts into clinical application and eventually productization in the programme track of “Biomedical Innovations – From Research to Clinical”. This year, in response to the challenge of COVID-19, the Summit proudly welcomes its fourth year and it will be held in a hybrid mode first time on 20th November 2021.

EMedI Summit 2021 looks forward to welcoming participants in person at Hong Kong Science Park. Meanwhile, all the sessions will be live streamed, and an e-posters exhibition will be held on a virtual platform. Participants can join the event from anywhere in the world. This biennial event will continue to provide a valuable opportunity for participants across different disciplines to present their latest developments and ground-breaking researches in the field of biomedical engineering and medical technologies. As the concurrent event, EMedIC Global will welcome teams of university students to present their intelligent and original projects on clinically-driven and client-centred engineering innovations for the future of medicine and healthcare in the exciting competition finale.

It is our honor to have gathered more than 30 world-renowned faculties, specialists and professionals from various healthcare organizations and research institutions as well as industry stakeholders to engage in a robust exchange of ideas and knowledge around the themes of Medical Robotics, Nanomedicine & Biosensing, Biomedical Imaging & AI, and other Advanced Medical Technologies, all striving to translate research efforts into clinical practice for the benefits of our patients.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to all the speakers, sponsors and delegates for your staunch support and contribution, which has taken this Summit to new heights. Join us for the EMedI Summit 2021 and be amazed as you dive deeper into the “Medicine for the Future”!
