The Meditech Summit took place in Budapest, between February 26-27 in 2025. The event was organised by Qutics group and Saasco Ltd.. Our colleagues participated on this exeptional conference in order to have up to date information about the sector developments, challenges and opportunities.
The conference started seven years ago under the name Opportunities and Challenges. Today, many believe that medical device manufacturers can focus almost exclusively on solving challenges. Regulations such as the MDR, IVDR, and new horizontal requirements — for example, the EcoDesign regulations — indeed place a heavy burden on the industry. However, the conference demonstrated that shaping the future is in our hands!
With integrated, digital solutions and the support of artificial intelligence, compliance with regulatory requirements can be taken to a whole new level. In one of the panel discussions, Hans Hofstraat even spoke of CE Marking 2.0, which could elevate the value and recognition of CE marking to a new level. Together with Michael M. Kania, Michael Galliker, Dr. Cesari Magri, and Alexander Fink, he outlined an automated MDR compliance process that could shorten and reduce the cost of the conformity assessment procedure.
