Without Medacta International, Medacta for Life Foundation and My School Ticino would not exist. We are indeed pleased and proud to celebrate and share the great achievements of the Company and the people at its heart.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Medacta International, a family company founded in 1999 by Dr Alberto Siccardi. Based on his experience as an orthopaedic patient, Dr Siccardi realised the importance of pioneering an innovative approach to improve patient care in the orthopaedic field. The results of this profound and successful intuition are there for everyone to see today. Medacta is headquartered in Castel San Pietro, Switzerland, and operates in more than 55 countries.
Switzerland and Ticino are at the heart of Medacta’s identity, which proudly announces that the city of Lugano will host the 10th M.O.R.E. International Symposium this year, from 15 to 19 April 2024. The important scientific event, of international standing, will be dedicated to the ‘sustainability of personalised medicine and technology in orthopaedics and spine surgery’. The event will feature over 160 expert speakers from all over the world, including the United States, Australia, Japan and the rest of Europe, as well as a large number of participants, involving the city of Lugano and its services in this valuable moment of exchange, growth and education.
“The M.O.R.E. International Symposium, now in its tenth edition, has always aimed at presenting our latest innovations and promoting the sharing of experience and knowledge among expert surgeons from all over the world to improve patient care, outcomes and well-being. These are important scientific events that highlight our commitment to medical education, a key element that has distinguished Medacta since its inception.” states Francesco Siccardi, CEO of Medacta. “We are delighted to welcome more than 1,200 participants from all over the world here in Lugano, in the heart of Ticino, where Medacta was born and where we continue to invest in our future. Our expansions in Rancate and Castel San Pietro underline our dedication to meeting the needs and expectations of patients and customers worldwide.”
