Octane, Southern California’s leading accelerator for technology and medical innovation, will host its Cardiovascular Tech Forum 2025 on September 11–12 at VEA Newport Beach, A Marriott Resort & Spa. The two-day forum will unite industry leaders, entrepreneurs, physicians, and investors to explore the future of cardiovascular innovation and shape the next generation of patient care.
The forum will feature a keynote address from Dr. John B. Simpson, PhD, MD, a pioneering interventional cardiologist and serial entrepreneur who invented the over-the-wire balloon angioplasty catheter, a groundbreaking advancement that transformed cardiovascular treatment. Dr. Simpson has founded seven companies, including Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Devices for Vascular Intervention, and Perclose, all of which were acquired by leading strategics. His contributions have earned him global recognition, including the ESC Andreas Gruentzig Award, the TCT Lifetime Achievement Award, and the National Academy of Engineering’s Russ Prize.
Attendees will gain access to innovation panels highlighting the latest technologies and research, investment opportunities with high-potential companies vetted by Octane’s Capital & Growth team, and exclusive physician/entrepreneur sessions where early-stage ventures seek advisory, board members, and medical expertise. Beyond the program, the forum offers extensive networking opportunities, providing a vibrant hub where physicians, strategics, and capital providers can connect with entrepreneurs advancing breakthrough solutions in cardiovascular health.
Since its inception, Octane has helped accelerate hundreds of companies, fostering billions in investment capital and driving measurable growth across the medtech sector. The Cardiovascular Tech Forum continues this mission, catalyzing collaboration to advance life-saving technologies and expand access to cutting-edge care.
