MedTech used to be a comparatively easy word to understand. A medical device had a physical form. It could be inspected, described in mechanical, electrical or material terms, compared with prior art, patented, challenged, cleared for launch and monit ...

Mechatronic systems are no longer only about the integration of mechanics, electronics and software into a functional component. In robotics and autonomous systems, they increasingly become intelligent subsystems that sense, interpret, decide and act ...

From industry signals to focused conversations Corporate IP management is changing under pressure from several directions at once. Technological acceleration, increasing information volumes, tighter resources, and rising expectations from business fun ...

Europe does not lack innovation activity. Across universities, startups, scale-ups, research institutes, industrial ecosystems and public funding programs, new technologies are being developed at impressive speed. Artificial intelligence, quantum tech ...

Robotics and autonomous systems are no longer only about machines that execute predefined tasks. They are increasingly becoming connected operating environments in which hardware, autonomy software, sensors, AI models, operational data, safety logic, ...
