How can medical technology startups successfully navigate strict regulatory pathways without slowing down their path to market?

In this interview from the Med-Tech Expo 2026 show floor, [**Laurie Rowe**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurie-rowe/?ref=med-techinsights.com), Founder of [**Red MedTech**](https://redmedtech.co.uk/?ref=med-techinsights.com) breaks down why traditional “late-stage” compliance planning is a major commercial risk for product development. Instead of treating regulatory affairs as a bureaucratic hurdle, Laurie explains how the smartest companies leverage frameworks like ISO 13485 and the latest MHRA guidelines as a springboard to innovate faster, build manufacturing reliability, and scale smoothly from prototype to production.
