Upcoming Trade Shows Stuttgart, Germany for Medical & Pharma

The MedtecLIVE 2024 trade fair brings attention to the innovators and players in the medical and pharma industry in Stuttgart. The trade fair is a key gathering for the medical technology industry and pulls in top talent from Europe, the USA, China, and Japan. With 116 international exhibitors, MedtecLIVE 2024 focuses on providing a platform for development experts, product designers, quality control specialists, and procurement professionals from medical technology companies. The emphasis is on innovation, but personal networking is equally important, making the event a critical point for industry players to make connections and explore partnerships. The Exhibitor Forum will serve as a hub for expert-led presentations throughout the event. Over 20 sessions will highlight three primary trends shaping the future of medical technology: automation, digitalization, and the circular economy. Automation and digitalization are playing a transformative role in medical technology, driving efficiency in product development and manufacturing processes. Circular economy practices, which emphasize sustainability and resource efficiency, are increasingly becoming a priority for the medtech industry. Other presentations will cover critical issues such as the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in medical devices, the challenges of developing new medical technologies, and updates on the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). The forum offers visitors the flexibility to attend individual presentations at their convenience. MedtecLIVE 2024 also highlights the role of emerging companies in driving innovation within the medical technology sector. The START HEALTHCARE contest, focused on start-ups, will feature around 20 German companies presenting their cutting-edge product innovations. This subsidized platform, called ‘Young Innovators,’ will allow start-ups to showcase their solutions to a specialized audience and gain traction in a competitive market. In addition to domestic start-ups, the event will also welcome young international companies at the ‘International Innovators’ area, further enhancing the global dimension of MedtecLIVE.
