🚀 Market Opportunities
Germany is Europe's largest medical device market and a critical entry point for the broader EU. A single CE Mark under EU MDR covers 27 EU member states. The aging population and strong GKV funding create sustained demand. Germany's DiGA digital health fast-track pathway is one of the world's most advanced for digital therapeutics. Products successful in Germany gain credibility across Europe and internationally. The MEDICA trade fair in Düsseldorf (100,000 attendees) is the world's most important medical technology commercial event.
