The Nanjing International Endoscopy Symposium (NIES 2025) concluded successfully, marking another milestone in global collaboration for minimally invasive medicine.

Medical progress is shaped by the interplay between clinical insight and technological innovation. At NIES 2025, this relationship came to life, opening a symbolic “door to the future” for endoscopic diagnosis and therapy.

Held on May 17, 2025 and jointly organized by MICRO-TECH Medical Corporation and Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the symposium gathered leading endoscopists from China, the United States, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. Product demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and facility visits created a fully immersive academic experience.

Cross-Border Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange

NIES 2025 enabled meaningful dialogue through multi-technique demonstrations and interactive discussions. Participants trialled MICRO-TECH’s newest technologies while sharing global advances in academic research and clinical practice.

Live animal model sessions showcased ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound), and ESD (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection). Discussions centered on treatment standardization, complication prevention, and strategies for complex cases.

By bridging geographies and traditional academic formats, the symposium highlighted the momentum of global cooperation in digestive endoscopy. Overseas physicians contributed refined procedural techniques, while Chinese clinicians shared expertise in workflow efficiency and treatment experience. Together, these perspectives pushed the field toward co-creating clinical standards and building a borderless innovation community.

“MICRO-TECH has built a truly global innovation platform that transforms clinical ideas into engineering breakthroughs and gives physicians an immersive product experience.”

— Prof. Lei Wang, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital

“Deep collaboration between global clinical experts and R&D teams holds irreplaceable strategic value for accelerating medical technology.”

— Dr. Arthur Schmidt, Robert Bosch Hospital, Germany

“By allowing clinicians to experience innovative products first-hand, MICRO-TECH has redefined what ‘innovation experience’ means for the medical device industry.”

— Dr. Anthony Teoh Yuen Bun, Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong

Clinician–Engineer Collaboration: Innovation Driven by Real-World Insight

A full lineup of MICRO-TECH’s innovations took center stage — including the eyeMAX™ Cholangioscope, DAT™ Dual Action Tissue Closure Device, S.T.A.R. Hemostatic Clip Device, and a next-generation AI-assisted diagnostic platform integrating AR visualization with stent placement.

More than a showcase, the symposium demonstrated the value of clinician–engineer co-creation. Direct interaction with international experts allowed MICRO-TECH to validate device performance, gather practical insights, and refine R&D priorities — forming a continuous clinical-to-R&D feedback loop that drives higher precision and better patient outcomes.

Technical Demonstrations: The Art of Clinical Precision

Expert surgeons from China, US, Japan, India, Hungary, and beyond performed complex ERCP, ESD, and EUS cases, turning the symposium into a shared “innovation theatre” where global clinical expertise converged.

Clinical demonstrations for the ESD procedure were also conduction by Tatsuma Nomura (Japan), Qi Wu (China), Alexander Schlachterman (USA), Min Chen (China), and Amol Bapaye (India). Clinical demonstrations for EUS were conducted by Yunfeng Wang (VisionPro, China) and István Hritz (Hungary).

Connected Learning, Boundless Exchange

Under the theme “Medicine Without Borders, Innovation Without Limits,” NIES 2025 adopted a multi-venue, hybrid digital format linking the MICRO-TECH Innovation Experience Center, Drum Tower Endoscopy Forum, and a global livestream. This structure enabled real-time participation across time zones and reinforced MICRO-TECH’s commitment to global endoscopic education.

Looking Ahead: From Innovation to Impact

Focused on advancing minimally invasive therapy, NIES 2025 united clinical practice, research, and industry collaboration under one vision: greater precision, intelligence, and patient-centered care in digestive endoscopy.

Through NIES, MICRO-TECH continues to strengthen the global presence of “Created in China,” building a full-cycle innovation ecosystem from clinical need to technological development to international validation.
