The MedtecLIVE, a trade fair for the entire value chain of medical technology, will now be held annually alternating between Messe Stuttgart and the Nuremberg Exhibition Center. The T4M – Technology for Medical Devices, previously organized by Messe Stuttgart, has been acquired by MedtecLIVE GmbH. It now complements the new event in terms of content and range of offerings. The organizer is MedtecLIVE GmbH. With this, the two trade fair companies are fulfilling the industry's urgent desire for a singular and central European spring event in southern Germany that equally involves the strong medical technology regions of Stuttgart/Tuttlingen and Nuremberg/Erlangen. The next trade fair will take place under the title MedtecLIVE with T4M from May 3 to 5, 2022, in Hall 9 of Messe Stuttgart, parallel to the Control trade fair. In 2023, MedtecLIVE will once again open its doors at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center.

"The established and successful MedtecLIVE trade fair will now take place alternately at two top locations. Exhibitors and visitors benefit from the annual central spring event, which combines the full power of two leading Medtech regions in Europe," says Dr. Roland Fleck, CEO of NurembergMesse. His CEO colleague Peter Ottmann adds: "The new configuration reflects the market's requirements one hundred percent and addresses a long-held industry wish. We look forward to being in Stuttgart with MedtecLIVE in even-numbered years."

"Medical technology is no longer imaginable without Baden-Württemberg and especially the Stuttgart region. More than 850 companies research, develop, and produce in our federal state. With 25 percent of the national revenue, Baden-Württemberg is the number one medical technology location in Germany," explains Stefan Lohnert, Managing Director of Messe Stuttgart. "From our perspective, it is only logical to welcome the event at this location, which is so well established for the Medtech industry. Additionally, the proximity to Tuttlingen and neighboring European countries, such as Switzerland, the Netherlands, and France, which are crucial for the industry, is unbeatable. The best conditions for promising business. We look forward to hosting MedtecLIVE as a platform for the European medical technology scene in the future, in even-numbered years, as a guest fair at our Messe Stuttgart site."

MedtecLIVE with T4M is organized by the Nuremberg MedtecLIVE team. Further details about the first edition of MedtecLIVE with T4M in Stuttgart, as well as the announcement of the trade fair concept and accompanying technical program, are planned for fall 2021. Partners, associations, and supporters of both trade fair formats have already pledged their support for the new event format.
