Eucomed, the medical technology industry association, celebrates its 30th anniversary. Since 1979, the association’s main goal has been to improve patient and clinician access to modern, innovative and reliable medical technology. Today, Eucomed is recognised as a credible partner in the EU health and industry policy landscape. Having started out as a small regulatory agency, the association has evolved into a true centre of competency and significantly expanded its resources.

Lars Wettéus, one of the founding members of Eucomed says “It is gratifying to see how Eucomed has evolved into a strong association supported by its Board and its corporate and association members. I am honoured to have worked with Eucomed and have handed over in 1988 the Eucomed proposal for a directive on Regulation of Medical Devices and Surgical Products to DGIII of the Commission”, he adds.

One of Eucomed´s priorities is to grow and develop its engagement with the European institutions and the larger healthcare community. An important result this year has been the association’s active role in the EU Commission’s “Exploratory Process on the future of the medical devices sector”. The European Commission invited the medical technology industry and other stakeholders such as patients, health professionals and insurers to discuss pressing healthcare and industry challenges in three areas: “Challenges and opportunities for public health and medical technology developments”, “Balance between the patient's needs and financial stability” and “Competitiveness and innovation”. In short, the objective of this multi-stakeholder exercise is to identify potential work areas for the new European Commission.

Eucomed is also active in producing appropriate research and scientific evidence on the macro-economic value of medical technology. The European Health Technology Institute for Socio-Economic Research (EHTI) is an independent institute comprising academia, policy-makers and industry and is closely linked to Eucomed.
