Trade Fair Cancelled at the request of the industry
T4M - Technology for Medical Devices will not take place in 2021. This decision was made at the request of the industry along with the tradefair advisory board and its supporters, Swiss Medtech and the VDMA Working Group Medical Technology.
"We regret this development. Given the areas at risk across Europe and the associated travel restrictions and quarantine regulations, the idea of holding an in-person trade fair for the medical technology industry in June is, unfortunately, unrealistic and the economic risk is too high," says Niklas Kuczaty, Managing Director of the VDMA Working Group Medical Technology. For a long time, we were holding onto the idea of an event in the first half of the year in the hope that it would be more likely to go ahead after the Whitsun holiday and, as a result, ensure greater planning certainty.
Kuczaty, who is also representing a group stand alongside more than 30 ncompanies together with the VDMA Working Group Medical Technology, ncontinues: "The trade fair advisory board and the industry both support nthe decision to hold T4M as an in-person event again at Messe Stuttgart nin 2022."
In recent months, it has been clear that online trade fairs ncan help to solve problems and bring benefits for customers. They are, nhowever, difficult - especially when it comes to medical technology. nAfter a thorough review and discussions with the industry, Messe nStuttgart decided against hosting a digital version of the in-person nMedical Technology Expo. We will still forge ahead at full steam and ncontinue to release individual goal-oriented activities using the T4M - nTechnology for Medical Devices brand.
