Executive Summary
The German industrial association for optical, medical and mechatronical technologies (Spectaris) has moved its principal operations office from Cologne to Berlin in an effort to improve its strategic position on a number of fronts. The move will provide an effective boost for the association's lobbying activities, as it brings Spectaris in closer contact with the federal government and parliament. Responsibility for the association's European activities will be divided between Cologne and Berlin. The transfer mirrors similar actions by German healthcare bodies over the past few years, including the medical devices industry association (BVMed) and the German hospitals association (DKG).
