MEDICA TECH FORUM

Interactive knowledge platform for the medical technology sector

The MEDICA TECH FORUM is the meeting place for innovation, knowledge and networking in medical technology. The focus here is on the technologies, trends and challenges that are driving the industry today and will shape it tomorrow – from robotics and artificial intelligence to smart high-tech solutions for everyday hospital life. Inspiring presentations and high-calibre panel discussions shed light on both technological developments and current regulatory issues – such as those surrounding the Medical Device Regulation (MDR).

As an interactive knowledge platform, the MEDICA TECH FORUM combines practical know-how with valuable networking opportunities. It offers the ideal opportunity to gain new insights, engage directly with experts and help shape the future of medical technology together.
