Medtec Live, the new exhibition by show organisers UBM and NürnbergMesse, has received formal approval by the German Federal Cartel Office and is now set to launch 21-23 May 2019.
Event Launch
Replacing Medtec Europe and MT-Connect, the new show aims to provide a European platform for the medical device industry, at a scale to help drive business development and innovation.
The organisers say that Medtec Live will build upon the existing strengths of both Medtec Europe and MT-Connect and will offer a network of both German speaking and wider European attendees.
The exhibition will span the supply chain of medical device technology, showcasing solutions from prototyping to full-scale manufacturing and post-manufacturing. Medtec Live will also offer scientific content through the MedTech Summit.
UBM and NürnbergMesse state that the response to the show has been positive and that multiple Medtec Europe exhibitors are already looking to secure a space for next year.
John van der Valk, managing director of UBM EMEA Amsterdam said: “This week, at Medtec Europe 2018 we have already seen more content and learning opportunities than ever before, 15 innovative Start-Ups present new solutions at our Start-Up Academy, live product demos on the show floor and for the first time – a forum for young professionals in Med Tech. All opportunities currently offered to our attendees will grow and develop through creating an expanded MedtecLIVE in Nuremberg, building on 21 years of success and expertise.”
Anke Rosemann, country manager – Germany & Netherlands at Brainport Industries Medizintechnik Holland, sees the announcement as a “sound decision for the whole medical technology industry.
“From 2019 onwards, we anticipate a high- quality exhibition which will engage a large number of visitors and exhibitors from the forefront of the industry.” Rosemann said.
