Regulatory Strategy as Competitive Advantage

How companies that think differently about regulatory affairs
can turn it into a revenue-generating differentiator

For most MedTech companies, regulatory affairs is a process. It’s a series of prescribed steps and activities required to market and sell products in different countries or regions. For most MedTech companies this means that regulatory affairs is treated as an operational cost center – something to constrain and wring cost-savings from. This focus prevents companies from realizing the potential of a bigger-picture regulatory strategy, and creates friction between regulatory and go-to-market teams.

Companies that invest in improving regulatory performance can bring new products to market more quickly than their competitors. They can move swiftly to capture market share when new regulations are implemented or competitors stumble. And they can still realize operational cost savings through more efficient execution.
