Dokumentbeschreibung

Germany is Europe’s largest medical technology market and ranks third internationally. With more than 1,443 medical device manufacturers (each having over 20 employees) and two-thirds of revenues generated outside its domestic market, Germany’s medical technology industry is thriving.

Throughout the world, products “Made in Germany” have achieved an excellent reputation for their leadership in quality, innovation, and design. The foundation of this success is a well-established collaboration between private sector companies, hospitals, research institutions, and academia.

Germany’s unique MedTech clusters

Germany is home to more than 48 cluster networks active in medical technology. Their goal is to achieve continuous innovation in research and development as well as in manufacturing by connecting companies, hospitals, universities, and other research institutions. Dedicated cluster management teams help obtain funding for joint R&D projects, provide shared facilities, and organize educational training programs for their members.

Finding partners made simple

Working closely with local cluster experts, Germany Trade and Invest (GTAI) can support international companies by identifying and contacting partners for research and development. Most of the 36+ university hospitals are key members of those cluster networks, making key clinical opinion leaders an approachable part of the innovation community. Matching partners and service providers can also be found to assist with product certification, reimbursement procedures, and product development.
