The region’s distinction is anchored in its unique research and clinical landscape, as well as its ability to closely link the key players in the life sciences and healthcare. Medical technology, in particular, is a strong driving force within the Berlin-Brandenburg HealthCapital cluster generating innovation and growth there and beyond.

Over the last two years the Berlin and Brandenburg medical device community has been marked by technological trends, which can also be observed on a global scale: personalisation and digitisation.
