13 May | ACMD Link: From Prototype to Patient: Advanced Manufacturing in Victoria

• Are you a medtech, biotech or digital health innovator reliant on advanced manufacturing, but uncertain how to scale in Australia?
• Do you want to understand how Victoria’s medtech fabrication ecosystem can accelerate your pathway from prototype to clinically deployable product while keeping capability, talent and value onshore?

​Join ACMD on Wednesday 13 May for a focused exploration of how integrated research, clinical insight and advanced manufacturing infrastructure can reduce translation risk and shorten time to market.

This session brings together researchers, clinicians and innovators to demonstrate how Victoria’s coordinated capabilities are enabling end-to-end development, from discovery through to manufacturing and deployment within the health system.

Featuring state-of-the-art member facilities of the ANFF-Vic Joint Venture, including the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN) and ACMD partner hubs across Victoria, the event will highlight how local infrastructure is responding to real clinical and system pressures, and why proximity matters in scaling health innovation.

Through expert perspectives and real-world case studies, you will gain insight into:

Navigating the full innovation pathway: Understanding how to access and connect local capabilities across research, prototyping, validation and advanced manufacturing

Translating complex science into viable products: Leveraging medtech and biotech fabrication, micro- and nanoscale engineering, and advanced characterisation to move from concept to clinic-ready solutions

Building next-generation diagnostics and devices: Where advanced hardware, biosensing technologies and data-driven systems converge to create scalable, market-ready solutions

Keeping translation onshore: Why retaining development and manufacturing locally strengthens speed, security, and long-term commercial value.

Whether you are at idea stage, proof of concept, or preparing to scale, this session offers practical insight into how to move faster - without leaving the ecosystem.
