Our Vision

Media Kompass is a Romanian innovative company in healthcare, an enthusiastic and knowledge-driven mindlab trying to overcome, in order to constantly improve, the current professional approaches towards the medicines and medical devices (MMD) market.

Knowledge is the way we approach new trends, with a team of professionals with recognized skills both in Romania as well as EU and international levels.

The idea of having an innovation team within the company is not new. We became an updated innovative and modern version, in the sense of delivering superior services to the pharma and healthcare sectors. We plan to work deeper in the knowledge-innovation space to identify all spots where we can do things better and harness the many benefits of new business, regulatory and data trends/models.

For the near future, our business target is to transform Media Kompass into a Task force that would be considered “the place to go” when dealing with new technologies, challenging projects and the need of creative and exhaustive approaches within the MMD market.
