Mannheim and the metropolitan region have strong medical technology actors in industry, clinics and research. The Business Development Center (BDC) enables start-ups, SMEs and partners in collaborative research projects to develop medical devices more efficiently and to market them more sustainably. The flexible space program with offices, hybrid rooms (iCubes) and laboratories reflects the high interdisciplinarity as well as the changing requirements of growing MedTech companies. The BDC is located along with numerous other MedTech companies on the Mannheim Medical Technology Campus. From there, the Cluster Management Medical Technology, the University Hospital, the Institute of Medical Technology, the Fraunhofer Project Group for Automation in Medicine and Biotechnology, the Founding and Competence Center for Medical Technology with Experimental HybridOP and the BMBF Cancer Research Campus M²OLIE can be reached on foot in less than 5 minutes.
