About us
MedTech Europe’s mission is to make innovative medical technology available to more people, while helping healthcare systems move towards a sustainable path. MedTech Europe encourages policies that help the medical technology industry meet Europe’s growing healthcare needs and expectations. It also promotes medical technology’s value for Europe focusing on innovation and stakeholder relations, using economic research and data, communications, industry events and training sessions. MedTech Europe started as an alliance in October 2012 formed by two organisations - EDMA, representing the European in vitro diagnostic industry; and Eucomed, representing the European medical devices industry. Promoting a balanced policy environment MedTech Europe engages with EU regulators, politicians and other decision-makers to help shape policies to promote innovation for our growing healthcare needs and expectations. Demonstrating the value of medical technology MedTech Europe promotes to its members and the wider industry value-based innovations that support more sustainable healthcare systems. We use economic research to show the benefits of medical technology and we organise many initiatives to explain the value we bring to healthcare systems in Europe. We bring stakeholders together to discuss trends, issues and opportunities.

Europe has the foundations in place to be a highly competitive economy, and yet, its growth is slowing down. According to Mario Draghi’s Competitiveness Report which was released on 9 September 2024, closing innovation gaps must be Europe’s first priority. “Europe is attractive for its innovative medical technology research ecosystem, its efficient and accessible healthcare system, and its growing efforts towards value-based healthcare. However, the European region indeed has work to do if it is to retain its historic place as the global ‘epicenter’ of medtech innovation,” comments Oliver Bisazza, CEO of MedTech Europe. “One of Europe’s many strengths is its unrivalled innovation creation,” he explains. The medical technology sector in Europe files a patent every 30 minutes: this is a testament to the commitment of the medtech sector to save lives and help people manage and improve their health. At the same time, Europe faces the challenge of bridging its top-tier innovation creation, and managing an often slow innovation launch. Coupled with tough competition from other regions of the world, Europe’s international competitiveness gap is widening. Read more: https://bit.ly/4dP08w1
