Beyond the Breakthrough
Real progress in healthcare happens when science, technology and practice come together. Innovation alone is not enough – the real challenge lies in achieving practical results. The TechMed Event 2025, taking place on 6 November in Twente, brings together researchers, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals and other experts to explore how collaboration across all stages – from fundamental research to real-world application – can improve patient care.
Technological developments are advancing quickly, but how do we ensure that these innovations are not only created but also adopted in healthcare settings? How do we bridge the gap between research and practice and work together on practical solutions? Throughout the day, experts will share their perspectives on how to translate technology into meaningful healthcare improvements. The programme includes keynote speakers, interactive sessions and panel discussions, all focused on collaboration and implementation. There will also be ample opportunity to meet others working towards better healthcare. Whether you’re involved in research, development or application, this event offers valuable insights and connections to support your work.
