MedTech Europe defines medical technologies, or short MedTech, as products, services or solutions used to save and improve people’s lives.
​
Medical Technologies accompany the patient at every step of the patient pathway, from prevention to diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment to care. The solutions can, for example, take the form of a medical device, in-vitro diagnostics, or digital health solutions.
In order to promote entrepreneurship and innovation in MedTech, the Innovation Office created the «Medical Technologies Propelling Program».This program will specifically support promising projects from a variety of MedTech disciplines and with different levels of maturity. Further, a community around MedTech researchers, startups, supporters and mentors will be created.
​
The «Medical Technologies Propelling Program» is supported by «Stiftung zur Förderung von innovativen Technologien für die Medizinaltechnik» (Foundation to Foster Innovative Technologies in MedTech) who focuses on supporting such research and entrepreneurial endeavours at the University of Basel.
