The event is complimentary and will be held in English

Navigating the Future of Gastroenterology

Continued technical innovation and the development of high-performance devices and instruments have fueled the progressive growth of Digestive Endoscopy. Innovative procedures now play a crucial role in the management of digestive diseases across medical settings.

Novel technologies and innovations, such as artificial intelligence systems or software dedicated to real-time image reprocessing, contribute to expanding Digestive Endoscopy opportunities. The increase in diagnostic accuracy and the efficacy of various minimally invasive treatments may drastically improve both patients’ quality of life and their life perspectives.

The ENDOMED 2025 Project aims to promote clinical and technological innovation in digestive endoscopy in the Mediterranean area, a territory rich in history, with multiple countries having cross-cultural differences and similarities. By fostering a common cultural and technical background among Clinical Gastroenterology Organizations operating in the Mediterranean area, ENDOMED 2025 contributes to regional growth and collaboration between neighboring countries.

As highlighted in ENDOMED 2024, this challenge of unity is extremely important for the years to come. Across the Mediterranean sea, the 2025 ENDOMED event connects medical centers renowned worldwide.

Each Center serves as a core of pioneering expertise, driving innovation and promoting best practices in Gastroenterology and Digestive Endoscopy.
