We look forward to joining forces with MedTech Bridge and our sister organization in Denmark to aid our thriving sector." - Anna Lefevre Skjöldebrand, Swedish Medtech CEO
The purpose of the collaboration with Swedish medtech is to continue to reduce these barriers that we know Nordic medical device and digital health companies encounter when they seek to succeed in the world’s largest medical technology market, the US. Uncertainties about the regulatory pathway, reimbursement, and a general understanding of the dynamics of the US healthcare system, are among the biggest barriers Nordic companies face.
