Guide to the [INSIGHT] events

[INSIGHT] is an event programme created especially for Swiss Medtech members. The platform aims to provide members the opportunity to position and present their company and their work within the association’s network. [INSIGHT] symposiums feature specific-specific content and highlight current issues from various perspectives.

Swiss Medtech facilitates up to four specialist [INSIGHT] events per year – organised and hosted by a diverse range of organisations. The slots are allocated on request and are coordinated closely with other planned event formats.
