What 2C does

2C A/S is a Danish engineering consultancy founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lyngby (Kongens Lyngby), Denmark, providing product development services to MedTech and high-technology companies. The firm specializes in bringing new medical devices to market, with deep expertise in regulatory compliance under ISO 13485, FDA QMSR (21 CFR 820), EU MDR, IVDR, and ISO 14971 risk management, and supports the full development lifecycle from concept and user-needs definition through prototyping, testing, and Design History File (DHF) documentation. Its engineering capabilities span mechanics, optics, usability, measurement technology, flow, pumps, thermodynamics, and controls, with particular strength in design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DfA) for injection moulded components. The company maintains a 250 sqm Innovation Lab equipped with lathes, cutting/bending machines, microscopes, and a LAF bench for prototyping, experimentation, and small-scale production, and draws on a partner network including the Technical University of Denmark, Risø National Laboratories, the University of Copenhagen, and the Danish Technological Institute.

The company's service portfolio comprises Engineering Design Services, QA/RA/QMS consulting, structured medical device development, audit services, and a proprietary MS365-based electronic Quality Management System (eQMS) developed for CSF-Dynamics A/S and certified by DEKRA. Since founding, 2C has been involved in over 700 R&D projects and has supported enterprise clients including Novo Nordisk, Ambu, Coloplast, FOSS, and Radiometer, as well as startups such as MotilityCount ApS (SwimCount), CSF-Dynamics A/S (SinuShunt hydrocephalus implant, first-in-human trial success), Bridge4People, Cleantech Motors, and Nerve Smart Systems. The firm's leadership includes co-authors of three patents for Novo Nordisk medical devices and the credited inventor of the Novo Nordisk FlexTouch disposable insulin injection device (an estimated 3 billion units sold). 2C is a partial owner of two startups — CSF-Dynamics A/S and Graspian A/S — and operates with approximately 20 full-time employees plus a deployed network of external experts.

2C generates revenue through professional services on a project-based, custom-quoted model, with multi-year contract cadence and pricing that is not publicly disclosed; initial consultations are free. Consultants are deployed either on-site with clients in the Greater Copenhagen area or from the firm's Lyngby offices, with account management handled by a dedicated account manager. The go-to-market is sales-led, enterprise field sales anchored by long-term relationships with Denmark's flagship MedTech and life sciences companies, supplemented by conference presence (technology fairs), LinkedIn activity, and a content-driven corporate website. Customer segments are primarily MedTech/medical device companies and broader high-tech product developers, with both large enterprise accounts and early-stage startups. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Highly comparable to 2C in vertical specialization, service mix (mechanical design + QMS/RA), and target customer profile of MedTech startups and scale-ups.
• Cambridge Consultants: UK-based product development and engineering consultancy with deep MedTech and high-tech physical product expertise, including prototyping, systems engineering, and regulatory pathway support. Comparable to 2C in full-spectrum product development services for regulated industries.
• NAMSA: Global MedTech-focused contract research organization offering regulatory, quality, testing, and product development consulting for medical device and IVD companies. Overlaps with 2C's QA/RA/QMS offering and MedTech development process expertise, but at much larger scale.
• RQM+: International regulatory and quality consulting firm specializing in MedTech RA/QA, clinical trial support, and product development services. Comparable to 2C's QA/RA/QMS practice and ISO 13485 / EU MDR focus, but operates across global markets.
• Prevas: Swedish engineering consultancy offering product development, embedded systems, and regulatory affairs services to MedTech and industrial customers. Comparable to 2C in Nordic focus, multi-disciplinary engineering scope, and MedTech vertical expertise.

Broad incumbents

• Elos Medtech: Nordic-based contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) for medical devices, offering product development, prototyping, and manufacturing. More vertically integrated than 2C into manufacturing, but comparable in MedTech product development focus and Scandinavian footprint.
• NNE: Danish-headquartered engineering consultancy (part of Novo Nordisk) specializing in pharma and biotech process and facility design. Comparable to 2C in Nordic MedTech/life sciences engineering focus and Danish heritage, though focused on pharma capital projects rather than medical device product development.

Emerging players

• FORCE Technology: Danish technology consultancy providing testing, calibration, and product development services across energy, transport, and industrial sectors. Partial overlap with 2C's Innovation Lab and testing/verification capabilities, but broader and less MedTech-focused.

Others

• Danish Technological Institute: Danish applied research institute offering testing, certification, and product development services across multiple industries. Already a partner network member for 2C; comparable in providing specialized technical services to Danish industry, with some overlap in MedTech testing and QA.

Regional players

• PDC (Product Development Company): US-based product development consultancy offering engineering design, prototyping, and manufacturing services for MedTech and consumer products. Comparable in full-service product development scope but serves North American clients rather than Danish/European MedTechs.
