The outstanding scientific landscape is a key factor in the success of many of the companies that have come to the region or were founded here. A wide range of life science research is conducted in the capital region in intense interdisciplinary networks. Exchanges and cooperation take place over short distances – not only between different research institutes, but also in many ways between industry, clinics and academic research.

This benefits the successful technology transfer and the quick, successful implementation of research results into competitive products. Thanks to the networking of everyone along the entire value chain, Berlin-Brandenburg is an ideal development location for medical technology with wide application.

In addition to Charité, the German capital region is home to over 40 renowned scientific institutions, including the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), the German Heart Center Berlin, Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), and other well-known Fraunhofer, Helmholtz, Leibniz, andMax Planck Institutes in Berlin and Brandenburg.

Institutes of the Fraunhofer Society

Institutes of Leibniz Society (Blue List)

Institutes of the Helmholtz Association

The broad range of research offered by the Berlin science and research institutions includes, in addition to the classic core areas of medical technology such as the Department of Medical Technology (Institute for Machine Design and Systems Engineering) at the TU Berlin, a wide range of cross-sectional technologies. These include microsystems and nanotechnology, optical technologies, information technology, new materials, biomechanics, mathematics, chemistry and physics.

With a highly diverse population of potential test subjects, the German capital region, with both the country's largest city and extensive rural areas, offers ideal conditions for the research, development, and testing of innovative and networked health solutions.

Expert partners in the region include the Clinical Studies Center at the Charité and Parexel.
