What role does strong infrastructure play in building a thriving ecosystem for MedTech research, development, and collaboration? In this session, we explore how the BioEngineering Labs at the TechMed Centre, University of Twente, offer a practical and flexible environment where science and technology meet to support biomedical progress.
As an open innovation space, the labs help drive the development of new ideas and their translation into medical applications. Through a range of perspectives, we will highlight how the labs contribute to research partnerships, support applied science, and respond to the needs of a fast-moving MedTech landscape. Whether through interdisciplinary collaboration, integration with national networks, or co-development with industry, the BioEngineering Labs provide the tools and setting needed to move health technologies forward — from concept to implementation.
