About the Event
Our country aims to be among the top 10 economies in the world by 2023. To achieve this goal, we need to produce high value-added products and develop the technologies related to these products.
Medical devices, due to the technologies they incorporate and the different disciplines they cover, fall into the category of value-added products. The Turkish government, through TÜBİTAK, the Ministry of Industry, and other institutions, provides various forms of support for the domestic design and production of medical devices and related technologies, and it is understood that this support will continue to increase.
To achieve these goals regarding medical devices, it is essential that our companies and universities conduct R&D and engineering studies. In this event, we aim to approach the subject primarily from a technical perspective, presenting R&D and advanced engineering solutions in the medical device design and development process. Furthermore, distinguished speakers from relevant institutions in our country will also participate in the opening speeches.
Your participation in our event would be an honor for us.
Best regards.
