Frequently asked questions
Does my product need to have a CE marking to participate in the workshop?
No, we are happy to provide best support from the idea, through the European Conformity Assessment and CE mark up to being admitted to the German reimbursement system.
Does reimbursement guarantee sales?
Reimbursement is a crucial prerequisite for success, but it does not automatically guarantee sales. It enables doctors to prescribe your product and health insurance companies to cover the costs. However, successful market access also requires effective marketing and distribution strategies.
Do I need to be a German company to apply?
No, your company does not have to be based in Germany. However, your product must be compliant with all German and European regulations. Having a local partner can be very helpful in this process.
