For this edition of the FiresideChat, we welcome Dr. Urs Mattes who will tackle the topic of Medtech specialties. Medtech is a heterogenous field with many specialites and not every specialty is successful in China ; some prosper, some do not. He will take the opportunity of the FiresideChat to elaborate on a case study from the dental industry and conduct discussion with the audience.
