expert group
foreign Trade
Devices from Swiss medical technology companies are in demand all over the world. Access to the international markets is vital for Swiss companies. The challenges here are great, not least because of Switzerland’s special role with the European Union, and the fact that the international market and competitive environment changes in a very dynamic way.
Who we are
The members of the expert group have the goal of providing mutual support when importing goods into foreign markets, of minimising the associated risks and of successfully overcoming the respective legal provisions. Generally, the expert group deals with all topics of interest and significance to the exporting Swiss medical technology industry.
Who can participate
Members of the expert group are typically CEOs, Heads of Import/Export, International Sales or Business Development or export specialists of Swiss Medtech member companies who deal with foreign trade at a strategic and/or operational level.
