MeVis AG joins the SPECTARIS e.V. industry association
Bremen, September 28, 2011 – Today, MeVis Medical Solutions AG, a leading software provider for the medical imaging market, announced that it has joined the SPECTARIS e.V. industry association.
German medical technology is synonymous worldwide for top performance. The industry, which is characterised by medium-sized companies, has a high level of innovation – every third product is less than three-years-old. Its system and process solutions as well as its innovative services are trend setters. In Germany, some 1,150 medical technology companies with almost 90,000 employees generate sales of EUR 20 billion, two-thirds or so of this amount is generated abroad. Approximately 170 of these companies are members of the SPECTARIS medical technology association. They all have a high level of innovation, a strong export orientation as well as a medium-sized corporate structure.
MeVis Medical Solutions AG is an established company for breast cancer imaging diagnostics on the North American and Western European markets thanks to its long and close ties to Hologic, Inc. and Siemens Healthcare. Membership of this association offers invaluable help such as systematic export promotion, regular expert working groups and health policy lobbying for further corporate development. MeVis AG was represented in the 'Das Einsparpotential innovativer Medizintechnik im Gesundheitswesen 2010' (The 2010 savings potential of innovative medical technology in health care) yearbook with its software for a system developed by Invivo Corp. to improve interventional prostate diagnostics by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI-guided prostrate biopsies).
The association's core competencies in addition to industry marketing and central association communications in particular include macro- and microeconomics as well as market research, regulatory affairs and foreign trade and export promotion.
'With our membership of SPECTARIS we are joining a vibrant organization that contributes to strengthening the position of German-based medical technology companies like ours both nationally and internationally. This fits well with our ongoing strategic adaptation to global changes to the medical imaging market and strategic partner searches', said Dr. Carl J.G. Evertsz, the founder and CEO of MeVis Medical Solutions AG.
'Medium-sized German medical technology companies play a major economic role in Germany and not just in their function as an employer, but also as the innovative driver for long-term efficient health care', said Dr. Tobias Weiler, the managing director of SPECTARIS e.V. 'Given the global market dynamic in medical imaging, we are pleased that MeVis Medical Solutions AG has joined the association.'
