Visakhapatnam: Bringing together more than 32 startups from different states and over 60 participants to develop medical robotics solutions for India and the world, the Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ) hosted ‘MedTech RoboSprint 2026’.
Organised by RoboMed in collaboration with the Innovation Hub Foundation for Cobotics (IHFC), IIT Delhi, and AMTZ, the two-day programme focused on translating engineering concepts into practical healthcare applications.
The inaugural day focused on ideation, prototype development, and refining solutions for clinical needs. Participating teams presented their concepts before an expert jury, which evaluated them on technical feasibility, clinical relevance, originality, and implementation potential.
Highlighting India’s medical robotics ambitions, Jitendra Sharma, MD and Founder CEO of AMTZ, mentioned that “India must move from being a consumer of advanced medical robotics to becoming a creator of globally competitive technologies. At AMTZ, we are working to make that transition possible by connecting innovators with the infrastructure, funding, mentorship, and market opportunities they need.”
The programme concluded with a panel discussion on ‘Emerging Trends in Medical Robotics’ and the announcement of GenElek Technologies as the winning team for its robotic gait trainer solution.
Through initiatives such as MedTech RoboSprint 2026, AMTZ is creating a launchpad for India’s next generation of medtech startups, enabling innovators to move from ideas to market-ready technologies.
