Medical technology without software?

Leslah Garland 22 February 2023  

Medical technology is a market with continuous growth that is attractive for many companies in search of new markets: predictive maintenance or digital twins in production, cyber security in hospitals or AI in radiology – IT and software now have immense importance for development, production and application in medical technology. MedtecLIVE with T4M will pick up on this from 23-25 May 2023 in Nuremberg with the special area “Software & IT”.

Christopher Boss, Director Exhibitions at NürnbergMesse says: “With our new special area, we are also specifically addressing companies that want to open up new business fields in medical technology. Algorithms not only play a very decisive role in determining new developments in diagnostics, the production of medical products is also changing quite tremendously as a result of digitalisation: digital twins, individual adjustments or small series production are generally only possible through the use of software – and the development here is rapid.”

Hall 1 of the trade fair will show the entire value chain of medical technology, software and IT companies will be prominently placed together. Joint meeting facilities will offer exhibitors additional opportunities and make it easier for visitors to exchange information with suppliers.

Extensive advertising measures by NürnbergMesse are also part of the package for exhibitors. “With this special area, MedtecLIVE with T4M responds to the digitalisation trend in medical technology and gives the topic of software room for growth and exchange,” confirms Evi Reiß, who is responsible for strategic customer acquisition at the IT company Softgate. “As a connectivity expert, we are looking forward to interested parties who are specifically looking for software. Due to the spatial proximity to partners such as Solectrix, we can present the cooperation to visitors directly at the fair in a vivid and tangible way.”
