Our network

Our network is based on mutuality, trust, and the idea that we can achieve much more together.

We have worked with experienced experts for many years and are happy to recommend them to you as “Trusted Partners.”

These are supplementary services that we do not provide ourselves, such as clinical evaluations, UDI labeling, and usability testing for medical devices and IVDs.

On the other hand, we work with consultants who offer similar services. If we don’t have enough capacity, these consultants can help out!
