The main takeaways
The aim of this workshop is to bring together SMEs operating within ‘the EU medical device and in vitro diagnostic medical device regulatory framework’ to assess the most concrete challenges that smaller enterprises face, as key stakeholders in the system. This collaborative effort will provide a platform for sharing experiences, identifying key issues, and discussing potential solutions to support the growth and compliance of SMEs in this sector. The workshop will provide participating SMEs with the opportunity to discuss and address specific challenges they encounter at various stages of the certification process of medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices in the EU and will explore best-practices and potential solutions to improve the regulatory system.
To ensure active participation of SMEs from across the EU, break-out groups for the workshop will be conducted in various languages, which will be determined based on participants' preferences. To facilitate this, each participant will be asked to indicate their preferred language on the registration form. This approach aims to make the workshop more inclusive and engaging for all attendees.
If interested in joining this initiative, please register by filling out the form. Your participation is much appreciated!
