Dans le cadre de son mandat d'animation de l'écosystème, MEDTEQ+ organise un événement aux 2 ans, le Sommet Innovation en santé MEDTEQ+, au cours duquel nous abordons diverses thématiques afin de faciliter l'intégration et l'adoption des technologies du secteur. En marge de cet événement, des discussions ont lieu afin de sensibiliser les parties prenantes aux enjeux et bloquants du secteur. MEDTEQ+ est le mandataire principale pour l'initiative envisAGE soutenue par le gouvernement du Canada dans le cadre du volet 5 du Fonds stratégique pour l’innovation visant à apporter un soutien aux écosystèmes nationaux. envisAGE réunit MEDTEQ+, un chef de file de l'accélération de l'innovation et de l'entrepreneuriat dans l'industrie canadienne des technologies médicales, et AGE-WELL, le chef de file canadien de la recherche sur les technologies du vieillissement et des solutions technologiques. envisAGE est une initiative pancanadienne à grande échelle qui rassemble des intervenants afin de proposer des ressources et du soutien aux entreprises en démarrage et aux petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) pour les aider à valider et commercialiser leurs technologies répondant aux défis du vieillissement. Elles pourront ainsi établir leur leadership canadien sur le marché des technologies du vieillissement. MEDTEQ + a été récipiendaire du programme CECR octroyé en 2017. Le mandat CECR a permis à MEDTEQ+ de bénéficier d’un soutien fédéral de 19,5 M$, soutenant ainsi la création du réseau Beachhead™ ainsi que du Fonds Invest.
