What might the medical treatment of the future look like? This will be the topic discussed, for example, from 12:30 on 30 July 2020. This session hosted by our event partner bitkom will explore the very topical issue of artificial intelligence in medicine, nursing care and home-based caregiving. In 15-minute presentation slots, numerous experts will highlight various aspects and applications for this key technology. And there’s more excitement from 13:30 on the second day, when recently established medical technology companies present their innovative ideas to compete for prestigious awards in the Start-Up Contest. And of course the virtual congress MedTech Summit will also deliver a wealth of specialist expertise about digital technologies in the medical technology segment and the associated challenges. More than 50 high-calibre speakers from the industry will explore its two main themes, “Future Trends” and “Major Challenges”.

Virtual MedtecLIVE: well worth a visit!
This year’s virtual edition of the trade fair offers an alternative to the leading springtime gathering for the European medical technology community, which regrettably could not take place due to the coronavirus pandemic. It will feature the online matchmaking event “Partnering”, which enables participants from the entire medical technology process chain to establish new contacts and talk to one another based on mutual interests, for example in face-to-face video calls. Exhibitors will also be given a comprehensive toolkit to help them present their innovations and solutions to the community. Visitors can attend this year’s virtual show free of charge and have unlimited access to the matchmaking event and all presentations at MedtecLIVE. They will also have free access to the content of the MedTech Summit congress.
