AI, robotics and automation are finding their way into medical technology and transforming production processes. Robots perform repetitive tasks with the utmost precision, while intelligent systems analyse and optimize processes to minimize waste and increase efficiency. AI-supported systems monitor production processes in real time and detect deviations and errors at an early stage before they lead to quality defects. These innovations enable more flexible production that can react quickly to changing market requirements and customer needs.

Microtechnology is revolutionizing medical technology through the miniaturization of materials and microcomponents. This enables the construction of smaller, more precise and more powerful medical devices that can be used for more patient-friendly therapies, minimally invasive procedures and more accurate diagnoses. New trends such as the integration of sensor technology, multifunctionality and point-of-care diagnostics open up further opportunities for innovative applications.

Materials science plays a key role in the development of new medical products. Innovative materials such as glass, metal, plastics, adhesives, bio- and nanomaterials enable the manufacture of safe, effective and cost-effective products. Glass is characterized by its biocompatibility, transparency and chemical resistance. Metals and alloys are indispensable for implants, surgical instruments and medical device housings. Adhesives bond different materials and must be biocompatible, strong and durable. Plastics are versatile due to their versatility, low weight and biocompatibility. Bio- and nanomaterials open up new possibilities for innovative applications in medical technology.

The medical technology industry is globalized and companies must strategically optimize their market development in order to be successful on the international medical market. COMPAMED offers comprehensive information and practical recommendations on topics such as supply chains, medical device regulation & approval, patents and logistics. Experts will highlight current challenges and opportunities of global supply chains in medical technology and strategies for optimizing supply processes, minimizing risks and increasing efficiency. Participants will gain insights into the latest regulations and approval procedures for medical devices in various countries and learn how they can strategically use patents to protect their intellectual property and secure their competitive advantage.

We look forward to welcoming you at COMPAMED!
