Global healthcare has seen remarkable advancements, largely driven by medical technology innovations. Yet, the sector still faces major challenges, such as increased chronic diseases, rising healthcare costs, and a shortage of healthcare workers. Moreover, the current climate crisis adds another risk to public health, underscoring the need for urgent and innovative solutions.
The TechMed Centre at the University of Twente is dedicated to tackling these challenges. With a strong emphasis on sustainable and personalised care, bolstered by technology and collaborations such as with the innovation cluster MedTech Twente, the TechMed Centre has emerged as an international leader over the past five years. We build on lessons from the past and are committed to developing groundbreaking solutions for the future.
What to Expect at the TechMed Event
On Wednesday 6 November, the TechMed Centre, will host the sixth edition of the annual TechMed Event. Leading stakeholders, including healthcare professionals, companies, administrators, researchers, investors, talented students and policymakers, will come together to inspire each other, reflect on the past years, and provide a platform for future-oriented challenges. The TechMed Centre promotes interdisciplinary collaboration to share knowledge, drive innovation, and create a roadmap for a sustainable future in healthcare. This will be highlighted during the event's opening session, where we, along with key players, will look back on five years of the TechMed Centre and look ahead to the future.
Be inspired by the keynote lecture from Kylle Jordan, who will discuss the "Destination Medical Center (DMC)" in Rochester, Minnesota (USA). This is a large public-private initiative centred around the Mayo Clinic. The project focuses on driving economic growth by supporting healthcare innovations and bringing medical technologies to market faster. It involves the development of an innovation ecosystem, an "innovation district," and offers extensive support to healthcare technology innovators. All of this aims to improve patient care and make healthcare more accessible and efficient. In her presentation, Kylle will show how such collaborations not only enhance healthcare but also help companies succeed in the U.S. market.
