Due to the additionally tense pandemic situation and the mandatory protection for all participants, the management of Kunststoff-Zentrum in Leipzig GmbH (KUZ) has decided to postpone the 3rd symposium "Plastics Meets Medical Technology" to the summer to the new date of July 6-7, 2022.
Plastics and medical technology are currently in a dynamic market environment: All-encompassing megatrends such as sustainability, digitalization as well as demographic change have a clear influence on decisions in companies. Likewise, the Corona pandemic shows that fast and efficient science and development are more valued than ever in these two industries. How are both industries dealing with the current challenges and the profound changes? What can be derived from this for their own firms?

Theoretical requirements versus feasibility
The "Plastics Meets Medical Technology" conference series is being held in Leipzig for the external time as a cross-industry platform for exchanging experiences. With the aim of helping the dialog between companies from both industries and highlighting potential for cooperation, the organizer is presenting a forward-looking conference program. An informative specialized exhibition, divergent Workshops as well as an excursion complete the lecture program.
The application-oriented conference will focus on medical technology and its entire value chain. The program of presentations will cover everything from plastics, especially for medical applications, to processing technology, high-quality medical technology results, metrology and quality assurance. Speakers from well-known companies will use best practice solutions to provide insights into their work and highlight challenges and potential for plastics processors in the field of medical technology. At the same time, modern opportunities of plastics technology for the medical sector will be presented. The dynamic direction of both industries inspires modern results for a wide range of applications.
