Communities of Practice.

Learning from each Other

And Move Forward.

Actively Advance Topics with the Communities of Practice.

Whether a start-up, MedTech company, or research institution: In the Communities of Practice (CoP), experts who want to advance a common topic connect. The groups operate self-organized and open to various topics, with our support. The goal of the CoP in the Medical Technology Cluster is to learn from each other, share experiences, and develop concrete approaches for practice. Once the learning objective is met, the community dissolves.

In addition to the Communities of Practice, the Circles of Experts offer a framework for smaller, personally charged rounds with highly specialized know-how.
