MediWales held its nineteenth annual Innovation Awards on Thursday 5th December 2024, in Cardiff.

We welcomed our industry members, academia and health and social care staff to the Mercure Holland House Hotel, Cardiff, for a fabulous evening celebrating the amazing achievements of the Life Science sector in Wales.

The MediWales Innovation Awards are regional awards, as part of the wider Medilink UK network. Each of the Industry Award winners will automatically be entered in the Medilink UK National Competition.
