AI-Driven Digital Transformation in MedTech: 'Riding the Waves, Setting Sail' – 2025 Medical Device Park Tour Shanghai Station

In 2025, the centralized procurement of high-value medical consumables entered an intensive implementation phase. From the national to local levels, results from multiple rounds of centralized procurement were successively implemented, effectively alleviating patients’ financial burden and establishing a “normalized” tone for industry development. Driven by policy guidance, enterprises have optimized their cost structures while enhancing product quality and innovation capabilities. This process has accelerated industry reshuffling and consolidation: companies lacking competitiveness will gradually be phased out, while those with strong innovation capabilities and cost advantages are emerging to lead the industry into a new stage of development.

Meanwhile, the medical consumables industry is exhibiting trends toward diversification and intelligence. On one hand, traditional high-value consumable sectors, such as orthopedic implants and vascular interventional devices, continue to be deeply cultivated, with products undergoing continuous iterative upgrades that significantly enhance their technological sophistication and clinical value. On the other hand, emerging technologies like AI are being deeply integrated into the research and development, manufacturing, and management of medical consumables, driving a shift from passive response to proactive optimization in consumables management and injecting new vitality into the industry.

In this context,Hosted by Guoke Hengxing and VCBeat, and organized by the Shanghai Hongqiao Overseas Development Service Center【““Wind Rises over Blue Waves, Set Sail for the Journey” 2025 Medical Device Industrial Park Tour – Shanghai Stop】The event was launched in Shanghai on Tuesday, April 15.In this season of spring blossoms, we will continue with the theme “Rising Winds over Azure Waves, Setting Sail for New Horizons,” focusing on key issues such as the industry chain, innovation, and transformation of companies in the high-value medical consumables sector.
