What is the current need for adjustment and optimization?

• Set up R&D efficiently and in line with the market:
  Innovation processes must be agile, interdisciplinary and regulatory compliant – with the use of digital tools (e.g. simulation, digital twin) and close integration with clinical partners.
• Developing regulatory excellence:
  Compliance with and implementation of regulatory requirements is becoming a strategic success factor. Companies must professionalize processes, systems and competencies in quality and approval management.
• Transforming production and the supply chain:
  Short time-to-market times, individual product configurations and quality and traceability requirements call for flexible, scalable and digitally networked production systems.
• Expand service and platform business:
  The trend is moving from the product to the system – and from there to the platform. Companies can use remote services, digital diagnostics solutions and data-driven business models to develop sustainable customer loyalty and new sources of revenue.
• Actively counter cost and profit pressure:
  Medium-sized providers in particular must streamline their structures, standardize processes and systematically leverage efficiency potential – without jeopardizing their innovative strength.
