Presenting a BioReg Partner | Authorized Representative, mdi Europa GmbH

As you know, placing a new medical device on the market is the end result of long and laborious team work. 

A medical device team can vary depending on the product type but it will almost always, without exception, include an innovator, an IP lawyer, a regulatory affairs and quality specialist, an R&D expert, a formulator, an engineer and a preclinical, clinical, marketing and business development expert.

To provide the best solution for clients, BioReg collaborates with top-quality, experienced and trusted partners and associates who have been carefully chosen over the years. 

In this blog, we are delighted to present to you our long-term service partner – EU Authorized Representative, mdi Europa GmbH. 

If I had to summarize in just one sentence the work that mdi Europa undertakes led by Michael Sander, I would probably say: ‘You always get more than you expect in a professional, thoughtful, timely and friendly manner. Thank you, Michael!’
