Fifth European Medical Technology Strategy Forum
Realizing the value you deserve: Smarter price execution to cope with new healthcare market realities

The discrepancy between the industry's R&D and customer service efforts and the market's willingness to adopt and pay for medical innovations is steadily increasing.

In order to maintain a profitable growth track, value-based pricing has achieved boardroom attention. Pricing functions and committees are being established; nevertheless, having dedicated resources and sound strategies in place is not sufficient to drive actual pricing impact. Many companies are struggling particularly on the operationalization and implementation side of value pricing.

With this in mind, we have the pleasure of inviting you to our fifth European Medical Technology Strategy Forum.

Presentations include:

  • Key sector trends and challenges, insights from Simon-Kucher’s annual Medical Technology Barometer  
  • Generating true pricing impact, insights from an industry executive
  • Managing the change in pricing, round table discussion

Break-out sessions:

  • Effective channel price and discount management
  • Innovative selling and pricing of complex offers
  • Successful management and pricing of tenders and big deals
