Switzerland's medtech industry will convene at Messe Luzern from 19 to 20 September 2017. Six reputable competence partners and around 160 exhibitors will show practical examples of how new designs, materials, technologies and processes are leading to innovations in the medical field.

The second edition of the Swiss Medtech Expo will bring the decision makers of manufacturers together with leading providers and experts from the medtech supplier industry. "Again this year, we want to make the Swiss Medtech Expo the place where the exchange of knowledge and ideas for future innovative projects takes place", explains exhibition director Fabrizio Raffa.

Contribution towards promoting innovation

The application-oriented medical technology exhibition demonstrates how new technologies and applications enable innovation in the medtech industry. Six focal points demonstrating the potential for medical technology are at its centre. Each of these focal points will be presented by a reputable competence partner who will bring his entire know-how to the Swiss Medtech Expo. (see figure 1)

Showcases make innovations visible

The presentation of these focal points is very practice oriented and illustrative. "We want our visitors to gain inspiration and ideas for their own projects", explains exhibition director Fabrizio Raffa. "We are convinced that this is only achievable through an intensive reference to practice." Around 160 national and international exhibitors at the Swiss Medtech Expo display their skills and competencies in the form of showcases. Showcases are innovative examples of applications that the exhibitors have already launched on the market. The showcases demonstrate the innovations that can result from the intelligent combination of new materials, technologies and processes.

Innovation Symposium: lectures by competence partners

The Innovation Symposium is also dedicated to current innovations. The various competence partners will present their subject area in the symposium and highlight the potential for medical technology. Visitors from the industry can look forward to insightful expert speeches and discovering details about the showcases and the creative processes and challenges behind them.
