At the MedtecLIVE Healthtech Pavilion at automatica 2025, there was plenty to see, including daily guided tours that stopped at the joint booth.
The medical technology industry not only benefited from the latest developments but also provided key impulses for the future of automation in medical device manufacturing. The MedtecLIVE Healthtech Pavilion served as the central platform where leading minds from medical technology and automation technology came together to present innovative solutions and forge new partnerships. With its close integration of both sectors, the Healthtech Pavilion became a go-to destination for anyone at automatica seeking targeted information about suppliers for the development and production of medical technology. “The response to our premiere was overwhelming – the need for exchange and networking is enormous,” emphasized Silke Ludwig, Deputy Director of MedtecLIVE.
For the first time, the MedtecLIVE Healthtech Pavilion took place as part of automatica in Munich. Thirteen companies showcased their forward-looking technologies and applications under the MedtecLIVE umbrella. This initiative, a collaboration between Messe München and MedtecLIVE, underscores the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation for the advancement of the industry.
Statements:
Silke Ludwig, Deputy Director, MedtecLIVE: “Innovation happens where different disciplines come together and inspire each other. With the MedtecLIVE Healthtech Pavilion, we created a space where medical technology and automation merge at the highest level. The response to our premiere was overwhelming – the interest in the solutions presented and the quality of the conversations show just how great the need for exchange and networking is. For us and the entire medical technology supplier industry, this is a strong signal: the future lies in moving forward together. We are already looking forward to MedtecLIVE 2026 in Stuttgart, where we will carry this spirit forward and spark the next wave of innovation.”
Niklas Kuczaty, Managing Director, VDMA HealthTech: “Healthcare in Europe is facing enormous challenges: demographic change, a shortage of skilled workers, and increasing demands for efficiency and quality of care call for innovative, technology-driven solutions. Automation and digitalization are no longer visions of the future – they are the key to ensuring sustainable care and relieving staff. As the honorary sponsor of MedtecLIVE, we see it as our mission to build bridges between mechanical engineering, medical technology suppliers, and users. Close collaboration along the entire value chain is essential, as only in this way can we overcome regulatory, technical, and economic hurdles and accelerate the transfer of innovation into practice. The MedtecLIVE Healthtech Pavilion impressively demonstrated how collaborative exchange and interdisciplinary networking strengthen the industry’s innovative power – a crucial step in actively shaping the healthcare of tomorrow.”
