MedTech Innovation Summit 2026

April 2026

HGF Partner and Patent Attorney Adam Hines will be attending the MedTech Innovation Summit Dublin 2026, taking place from 28–30 April at The Shelbourne Hotel.

As one of Europe’s premier medical device partnering and investment conferences, the Innovation Summit brings together leading investors, strategics, and emerging MedTech companies from across the globe. The event is known for its highly curated format, featuring presentations from innovative start-ups alongside private partnering meetings and expert-led panel discussions.

With over 40 emerging medical technology companies presenting, alongside keynote sessions and interactive discussions, the summit provides a valuable platform to explore the latest developments shaping the MedTech landscape.

Adam is a commercially focused patent attorney with extensive experience in building, optimising and defending global patent portfolios. Having previously managed a large portfolio within a multinational healthcare company, he brings a strong understanding of how IP strategy aligns with wider commercial objectives. He also has significant experience in European patent oppositions, having represented clients in over 50 hearings before the European Patent Office, achieving favourable outcomes in complex, high-value disputes.

Specialising in medical technology and medical devices, Adam works closely with clients to develop robust, commercially aligned IP strategies that support innovation and growth.
