Our 3rd Annual Device & Tech Expo brought together founders, operators, clinicians, investors, and partners from across Charlottesville and beyond. The energy, collaboration, and innovation on display are shaping what’s next for our region — and this is just the beginning!

2025 Expo Highlights

  • The 2nd Annual Device & Tech Expo took place Thursday, January 30, 2025, at CvilleBioHub’s North Fork Research Park location.
  • A dozen biotech and device companies exhibited and demoed their technologies, drawing nearly 300 attendees.
  • The Expo served as a live demonstration floor and networking hub for entrepreneurs, investors, service providers, and ecosystem supporters.
