Frost & Sullivan to Moderate International Conference at MEDICA 2007

Frost & SullivanHosted by the U.S. Government in partnership with Frost & Sullivan and several strategic partners, the International Conference at MEDICA 2007 is expected to see attendance by every international medical device, equipment and diagnostic company. This pioneering event offers the international medical technology community a unique opportunity to tap the expertise and resources needed to be successful on the world's most important medical market - the USA.

Dorman Followwill, Vice President, Health Care, Frost & Sullivan, who will moderate the conference, notes that this event comes at a time when international medical technology firms, facing strong cost containment pressures, slower growth and challenging regulatory environments, are looking to the U.S. as a rewarding market for innovative products.

"Clearly, the U.S. market offers medical device companies several global competitive advantages," says Followwill. "However, it is essential for international firms to implement the correct strategy on local engagement in the highly competitive U.S. market where volatile currency fluctuations, heightened scrutiny on import safety issues, complex reimbursement systems and regional/local market preferences and practices, all demand careful consideration."

Through this conference, participants will be privy to crucial information and insights aimed at helping international medtech companies establish a presence or expand in the United States. Experts from the U.S. Department of Commerce, its U.S. federal state partners, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, along with leading industry association officials, company heads and prominent legal, financial and business advisors in the health technology sector will make presentations, participate in panel discussions.

Besides in-depth and insightful information, the forum offers attractive networking opportunities. Attendees can profit from personal consultations with expert speakers and U.S. state representatives during breaks, the relaxed networking reception and in follow on meetings.

In short, anyone responsible for a medical company's global success will find invaluable guidance and networking opportunities on November 13th at the Hilton Hotel, Düsseldorf.
