Why Europe?

• The European Union is the world's second largest market for medical devices and holds significant potential for Canadian companies.
• Three of the five largest medical device markets in the world are located in Western Europe; Germany, France and the UK.
• The European Commission recently introduced major changes to the way Notified Bodies audit all manufacturers of medical devices and to the supervision of Notified Bodies which will significantly change the nature of CE-Certification from 2014 onwards. This will also have a direct impact on Canadian Medical Devices exporters.

Opportunity for 1-on-1 meetings
Interested companies have the opportunity for a 1-on-1 meeting with our presenter, Manuela Ahlers, Lead & Senior Auditor, TUV NORD after the presentation session.
