Panel discussion MedtecLIVE 2026

Manufacturers and Users in Medical Technology – All in the Same Boat?

How are the demands on medical technology changing – and how are manufacturers and users responding? This panel discussion featuring experts from hospitals, industry, and politics sheds light on key challenges and solutions for a future‑ready MedTech sector.

MedtecLIVE
Nürnberg, Germany

It addresses some of the most pressing questions of our time:

Hospitals are facing profound changes driven by the hospital reform, rising cost pressures, and new reimbursement models, all of which directly influence the use of medical technology. DRGs, the shift toward outpatient care, and new care structures are significantly reshaping requirements and investment decisions. At the same time, the industry is confronted with MDR‑related adjustments, market consolidation, and changing customer landscapes – from hybrid DRGs to new procurement processes – requiring flexible and adaptive strategies.

The discussion highlights where common challenges lie and how cooperation between users, manufacturers, and policymakers can succeed in driving sustainable and future‑proof MedTech development.

Join us as experts from practice, policy, and industry get to the heart of the major questions shaping the future of healthcare!

Further information will follow shortly.

Please note: the panel discussion will be held in German.
