MedtecLIVE 2026 in Stuttgart has once again confirmed its leading role as the central platform for the European medical technology industry. As DLS, we used our presence at the trade show to engage in in-depth discussions with specialists and executives from the fields of quality management, regulatory affairs, production, and IT.
In addition to our presentation on the topic of “Use cases of AI in the modern eQMS”, the focus was on digital solutions for implementing regulatory requirements such as GxP, MDR, IVDR and ISO 13485. DLS provided a practical demonstration of how integrated systems support digital document and quality management and ensure audit-compliant management of key document types such as SOPs, specifications, test procedures, and CAPA documentation.
The technical discussion highlighted the growing demands for data integrity, traceability, and auditability throughout the entire value chain. Scalable system architectures and end-to-end validation strategies proved to be critical factors for sustainable compliance.
At the same time, MedtecLIVE impressed with a practical supporting programme covering current industry topics, including regulatory developments and technological trends with a focus on digitalisation and sustainability, as well as the future of medical technology.
Overall, we view this as a great success and will use the insights gained to continue providing targeted support to companies as they implement regulatory requirements, ensure compliance, and continuously optimize their quality processes.
