To enrich the MedTech Innovation Days, Erbe held a nurses’ training with acknowledgeable response.

The MedTech Innovation Days 2019 were set into action after the German Centre had initiated a similar event with the Industrie 4.0 Days the year before. Again, the organisers have picked a topic that is on the pulse of time for Singapore’s production sector. That is to say because, in Singapore, MedTech companies find the perfect breeding ground for their growth. This is also due to the fact the the Singapore government has identified MedTech as a key sector within the biomedical sciences industry for development.

The Asian market for medical technology is one of the largest within a sector that is growing steadily anyway. Within Europe, the German market is No. 1. Therefore, it is no coincidence that several German Centre tenant companies are innovators in medical technology and related industries. The MedTech Innovation Days were driven by the industry itself. Clients of the German Centre, mainly SMEs. had wished to have a platform to become more visible to a broader audience.

An idea that found a lot of support, in fact, not only by the German Centre itself. For that reason, the business centre joined forces with several event partners. Among them were Fraunhofer Singapore, JTC Corporation, Singaporean-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Messe Düsseldorf, Rödl & Partner, SingEx, TÜV Süd. Besides, the event took place under the auspices of the German Embassy in Singapore.
