Medicinteknikdagarna 2025 brought the field together in Uppsala

Three days of inspiration, knowledge exchange, and networking — Medicinteknikdagarna 2025 have come to an end. With around 400 participants and more than 50 exhibitors, this year’s event once again confirmed its position as Sweden’s leading meeting place for professionals working in medical technology across healthcare, research, and industry.

The conference, now in its 22nd year, was organised by the Swedish Society for Medical Engineering (MTF) and hosted at Uppsala Concert & Congress. Co-organisers for 2025 were Uppsala University Hospital and Uppsala University, through the MedTech Science & Innovation Centre.

“Medical Technology Days is the premier Swedish forum for medical technology. It’s where researchers, clinicians, and industry representatives meet to exchange ideas and build collaborations,” said Professor Maria Tenje, Chair of the Programme Committee at Uppsala University.

Three tracks – one shared direction

This year’s programme featured three parallel tracks:
a technical track focused on clinical applications, a scientific track highlighting recent research, and an innovation and education track covering cross-cutting topics of interest to the entire field.
Each session included presentations and group discussions, encouraging dialogue between different sectors and perspectives.

Award for outstanding contributions

During the conference, Professor Cecilia Persson from the Division of Biomedical Engineering at Uppsala University received the Erna Ebeling Award from MTF, recognising her outstanding contributions to the field of medical technology.

The combination of science, clinical experience, and innovation is what makes these days so valuable

After three intensive days, a successful conference was concluded by a satisfied organising trio: Mattias Holmgren (Chair of the Organising Committee, Uppsala University Hospital), Maria Tenje (Chair of the Programme Committee, Uppsala University), and Fredrik Nikolajeff (Chair of the Swedish Society for Medical Engineering, MTF).
