Growth Across Borders 2025 invites you to company visits, workshops on euregional topics, specialist presentations, panel discussions, matchmaking and networking.

Review: Growth Across Borders 2024 – Support for euregional exchange –

On October 30, 2024, the first Growth Across Borders Conference took place in Maastricht with great success and brought together over 70 participants from the life science regions of Aachen, the province of Limburg (NL), Belgian Limburg and the province of Liège. In the course of the scientific contributions and interdisciplinary discussions, the following aspects were given special consideration:

• Strengths of the region – Why is cross-border cooperation essential?
• Highlights of the regions – What unique potential do the regions offer?
• Young companies report – Success stories of international cooperation.
• Guided tours through the R&D areas of Medtronic (NL).

We want to continue this successful start and consolidate it across borders!

We are therefore looking forward to Edition 2025 – Growth Across Borders – this time in Aachen (D)!

With new topics, new networks, many partners and you.
