About the TechMed Event
Global healthcare has significantly improved, partly due to medical technological innovations. However, the sector faces major challenges, such as the increase in chronic diseases, rising healthcare costs, and a shortage of healthcare workers. Additionally, environmental challenges pose an extra threat to public health, requiring urgent and innovative solutions.
Through sustainable and personalized care by means of technology, the TechMed Centre at the University of Twente, established in its current form in 2019, is committed to addressing these medical challenges. This initiative started earlier with the idea of bridging the gap between technology and healthcare in education, research, and innovation. The TechMed Centre has grown into an international leader over the past five years with a strong vision to improve healthcare through innovation and collaboration. The associated innovation ecosystems, such as the MedTech Cluster Twente, also thrive. The strength of the TechMed Centre as an innovator, catalyst, and connector lies not only in its advanced facilities and R&D expertise but also in its unique culture of collaboration. Short lines of communication and a strong willingness to work together foster an environment where interdisciplinary partnerships thrive. Hospitals, knowledge institutions, governments, and companies collaborate in a fertile ecosystem.
