Overview Medtech Summit 2012 - Bridge to Asia

Lausanne, Switzerland

The European Tech Tour Association presented its third Medtech Summit on 16-17 October 2012 with 100 participants and 25 presenting CEOs. Europe is uniquely positioned in the medtech environment as THE place for clinical and technical innovation. Europe's aging population provides ample market opportunities for start-ups to bring effective and cost efficient solutions to treat patients.

Why should you have attended the 2012 Medtech Summit?


This edition's theme was "Bridge to Asia". Asia offers European MedTech start-ups a major opportunity for accelerated development, with an average growth of 10% and market value expected to exceed 50 billion euros by 2015. The Chinese market alone is expected to expand by 15 to 20% annually between now and 2015.

European new venture companies can leverage their capacity for innovation by including Asia in their strategy from the outset in order to reach sustainable business models in a fast-evolving world. The product development investment requires a start-up to have a global approach to leverage its innovation globally and access the right capabilities wherever they reside. Beyond efficient operational models and access to high growth markets, Asia is now well positioned to offer critical capabilities in terms of quality product development, clinical trials, financing and exit opportunities .
