The Role of Platforms and Networks in the MedTech-Industry
摘要
Networks in the field of medical technology act as important links for bundling common interests, promoting exchange, further training, and cooperation as well as representing industry-relevant concerns. The heterogeneity of the medtech industry—particularly due to the high proportion of small and medium-sized companies—makes networks key moderators and bridge builders between different players. Through shared resources, collective information processing, and joint opinion-forming, networks provide support not only with regulatory challenges, but also with strategic transformation.
