Projects
MedLife works together with stakeholders from business, science and municipal institutions in academic-industrial projects and strategic collaborations. The projects contribute to advancing innovative topics, increasing the visibility of the region and strengthening its importance beyond the region.
In the active project reACT (Resorbable Solutions from the Technology Region Aachen), MedLife is investigating the challenges of effective knowledge management in medical technology-science collaborations.
The project participations of recent years have aimed to promote the research and development of innovative ideas and products in the life sciences and healthcare industry.
MATMED: Innovative materials in medical technology
Many material innovations with potential in the field of regenerative medicine and medical devices - such as 3D printing, nanocoatings and biodegradable polymers - are not being taken up by the market, or only slowly, and are therefore not benefiting the ageing population in the North-West Europe (NWE) region.
