The Italian Continuing Medical Education market is worth around 1 billion euros, grows at an annual rate of 4% and is structurally countercyclical. It is a resilient sector, unaffected by economic crises because it responds to a precise professional obligation: healthcare professionals must keep up to date, always. And yet, with more than 1,000 small and medium-sized operators active throughout Italy and no leading institutional player of reference, this market has long remained fragmented, without guidance capable of raising its overall standards.
What CME is and why it is so important
Continuing Medical Education is not optional training. Since 2002, the National CME Programme has established the obligation for all healthcare professionals — medical specialists, hospital doctors and healthcare operators — to update their knowledge constantly through accredited training programmes. The aim is to ensure that those working in healthcare are always prepared to respond effectively to patients’ needs, developments in scientific research and the requirements of the National Health Service.
These programmes are organized by qualified independent providers, with the support of authoritative medical-scientific figures as trainers. The quality of the content, scientific solidity and organizational capacity of those delivering the training therefore have a direct impact on the quality of care. It is an enormous responsibility, requiring expertise, structure and a long-term vision.
A market awaiting consolidation
Despite the strategic relevance of the sector, the Italian CME landscape has long been dominated by small and medium-sized operators, each specialized in specific therapeutic or geographical areas, without the emergence of an entity capable of bringing them together, ensuring consistent standards and guiding the evolution of the market. Larger players are already growing at rates above the average, demonstrating that there is room — and demand — for an aggregation hub of excellence.
The answer is Meduspace
This is exactly the opportunity that led Koinos Capital SGR to build Meduspace S.p.A. Società Benefit: a national hub for the training and continuing education of healthcare professionals, born from the integration of three complementary companies — Dynamicom Education, Formedica and Meeting Planner srl — and set to grow rapidly through further targeted acquisitions.
Meduspace was not created to replace existing expertise, but to enhance and amplify it: each of the founding companies maintains its own identity and specialization, with the prospect of developing shared technology, attracting new talent and building an even stronger, more structured training offer, capable of responding to the challenges of a constantly evolving sector.
With around 70 professionals already operational, expected revenue of around 35 million euros for 2025 and growth targets of 70-80 million euros over the next three years, Meduspace enters the market with solid foundations and a clear vision: to become the national point of reference for Continuing Medical Education, in the interest of healthcare professionals and, ultimately, of the patients who depend on them.
