Cambridge Consultants, the deep tech powerhouse of Capgemini, has been confirmed as sponsor of the opening breakfast session at The Surgeon Show 2026, bringing together surgeon-innovators to discuss what it takes to turn clinical insight into scalable medtech solutions.
The session, titled “The Key to MedTech Success with Cambridge Consultants”, will take place at 8:30am and will examine the innovation-to-commercialisation journey from identifying an unmet need in surgery, through product build and investment, to revenue generation, adoption and growth.
Chaired by Oliver Sowerby, Vice President of MedTech Innovation at Cambridge Consultants, the breakfast panel will feature clinical innovators at different stages of company and product development, including:
- Mr Ali Haddad, CEO and Founder, XRlabs
- Ms Emily Mills, CEO and Co-founder, Cascade MedTech
- Mr Ash Kalraiya, CEO and Founder, Medishout
- Ms Terouz Pasha, Inaugural Innovation Fellow, London Institute of Healthcare Engineering & RCS Innovation Hub
- Mr Alex Almoudaris, CEO and Founder, TouchPoints.Health
The session will open with a short talk, followed by a panel discussion focused on a core theme: why clinical workflow matters and why even well-funded projects can fail if technologies don’t work in real surgical settings.
Commenting on the session, Oliver Sowerby said: “Surgeon-innovators are uniquely positioned to identify unmet needs, but building a company around that insight brings new challenges from engineering and regulation to investment and adoption. We’re proud to support this session and help create an open, honest conversation about what success really looks like in medtech.”
The panel will explore how surgeons are translating frontline insight into technology-led ventures, and the practical challenges that emerge as innovations scale — including product development, regulatory pathways, funding, clinical adoption and commercial growth.
The Surgeon Show 2026 will bring together senior surgical voices and industry leaders for a programme designed around conversation and debate, covering topics shaping the future of surgery - from the operating theatre of tomorrow to the growing role of AI, robotics and advanced technologies in clinical practice.
The event is invitation-only, with registration of interest available via surgeonshow.com.
