Transformation

Due to its growth potential, the medical technology market is attractive for many manufacturing companies that are still active in other industries today.

Due to its growth potential, the medical technology market is attractive for many manufacturing companies that are still active in other industries today. For example, automotive suppliers with many years of production know-how can open up new business fields. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate recently initiated the establishment of transformation networks to accompany and support the automotive industry in this transformation. Some companies took the step into the medical technology sector many years ago, had their QM system certified according to ISO 13485 and have been extremely successful in building up new sales opportunities in medical technology – in addition to their original market.

Digitalisation

The digitalisation of healthcare and industrial manufacturing offers plenty of new opportunities - for patients as well as for traditional and new players on the market.

Production of the future

Hardly any medical technology product is manufactured in very large quantities today. New processes must therefore be able to realise high efficiency in production and high customisability at the same time.
