The Netherlands is the 2nd country in Europe for export and import of medical devices and holds the 8th position worldwide when it comes to patent applications in the field of life sciences and health. Renown brands like GE, Medtronic, Siemens, Abbott, Philips, Johnson & Johnson mark the Dutch life sciences and health landscape.

      Brainport Eindhoven is known for its strong cluster in medical technology for which Philips once laid the basis. Nowadays the region houses a number of large companies, state-of-the-art knowledge institutes, highly innovative SME’s, promising start-ups, med-tech suppliers and contract manufacturers. Moreover, Philips has a large Healthcare Campus in the region and a high amount of fundamental and applied research is done into the field of medical technologies.

      Brainport Eindhoven: from health crisis to innovation in medical technology

      The most innovative ideas and most powerful partnerships often emerge during crises. This certainly goes for Brainport Eindhoven. More than once, technological boundaries were pushed in Brainport Eindhoven to provide answers the global health crisis we are currently facing caused by the corona virus. 

      Brainport company Demcon normally develops a single module for respirators but is now building simplified total ventilators for ICs at breakneck speed. In order to do this, the company uses the strength of the Brainport supply chain. Several companies contribute: VDL supplies milling and sheet metal work, Tbp Electronics tests printed circuit boards at the Brainport Industries Campus and electronics group Neways has also agreed to cooperate. The cooperation allowed Demcon to develop, produce and test a system that is suitable for the ventilation of corona patients in ICs within a month. On April 23rd, the first of over 500 breathing systems were delivered.
