Upcoming Trade Shows Bilbao, Spain for Micro & Nano Technologies

Bilbao has long been an active hub for technological innovation and the micro and nano technologies is no exception. The recent launch of the SAFE-N-MEDTECH initiative, a collaborative project funded by the European Commission, marks a big milestone in this still emerging sector. SAFE-N-MEDTECH, which is led by BIOPRAXIS-BIOKERALTY and TECNAN, brings together a diverse consortium of 28 partners from 13 countries, which include research institutes, SMEs, large companies, and healthcare providers. This collaborative effort aims to accelerate the development and market adoption of nanotechnology-enabled medical devices and in vitro diagnostics. The project addresses critical challenges facing the healthcare industry, such as the need for faster development of innovative medical technologies for one. Meeting the growing demand for novel solutions requires streamlined development processes and reduced time-to-market. Another pain point has been achieving the required enhanced safety and regulatory compliance. Ensuring the safety and efficacy of nanotechnology-based medical devices necessitates rigorous testing and adherence to stringent regulatory requirements. The initiative also works towards addressing the challenges of global applicability, biocompatibility and cost-effectiveness. SAFE-N-MEDTECH will establish an open-access platform that provides companies and research institutions with the necessary resources, expertise, and networks to translate nanotechnology research into impactful medical applications. This platform will offer access to cutting-edge technologies and infrastructure, which will enable researchers and developers to conduct advanced research and development activities. The SAFE-N-MEDTECH initiative represents a significant investment in the future of healthcare and the micro and nano technologies industry in Bilbao. By fostering collaboration, accelerating innovation, and addressing critical challenges, this project will pave the way for the development of transformative nanotechnology-based medical solutions that improve patient outcomes and enhance healthcare delivery worldwide.
