The medical technology sector is a well-established pillar within the healthcare industry
in Germany and one of the major drivers of the country´s export-driven economic
growth. This also puts German companies in a good position to go through a
period of change due to more challenging requirements on the regulatory side. German
companies have shown constant growth and record turnover. This year more
than 30 billion euro of revenue will be generated. Among the reasons for this succes
are the very German-like combination of tradition and inventiveness, focus on quality
and efficient engineering know-how, resulting in continuous development of innovative
medical products and new beneficial services. Another of the sector´s
drivers is its ability to cross-link with the pharma, biotech, IT and manufacturing sectors.
These industries are discovering the digital opportunities of e-health, the combination
of drugs with medical devices, the opportunity of artificial intelligence and
machine learning. The German health related technology sectors are thus very much
profiting from a close relationship between all players in the healthcare sector.
With the fourth edition of our "Guide to German Medtech Companies", BIOCOM AG
follows this development, highlighting the broad competences of the German
medical technology sector. The Guide offers a diverse picture of companies - from
medical device developers to manufacturers, service providers, and organisations.
In addition, the most recent developments in the German medtech sector are summarised
in the introduction.
The Guide to German Medtech Companies is supported by our partners Germany
Trade & Invest, BVMed e.V., Medical Valley EMN e.V., Life Science Nord, Medical
Mountains, SPECTARIS, Forum MedTech Pharma, IVAM, and VDMA. These national
organisations and regional networks are important stakeholders, helping to
establish further growth of "medtech made in Germany" by providing the right environment
for traditional family-owned firms, global players, start-ups, technological
forerunners, manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers.
As this book will be distributed across many international medtech events in Europe
and overseas, it will definitely provide strong visibility of German medical technology
companies on an international level. Distribution is further supported by logistics
specialist UPS. The publication is also available for free via our BIOCOM AG
app. Either as electronic version or as printed copy, it will surely become a musthave
on the desk of every professional in the German healthcare industry.
