Plastic is a material with manifold possibilities in  medical technology and life sciences. It can be used for disposable  products (injections, tubes), for implants and prosthesis or as parts  for medical instruments. Throughout all application areas quality  control and the validation of the process in medical technology is of  great importance. 
Experts from the Euregio Meuse-Rhine area inform about current trends and challenges of plastic processing for medical devices. 
Besides the keynote speeches, we organise brief  pitches, where SMEs and knowledge providers present themselves, their  ideas and what they are looking for. You will also get to know each  other in one-on-one meetings to discuss your problem or solution in  detail with companies across the borders. 
Use this opportunity to find your perfect match!
