MedCoast Scandinavia will be presented at Northern Europe’s largest meeting place for the biomedical sector. This is where the bioregions can exhibit and demonstrate potential and competence. This year’s event will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark September 23 - 25. Some 20 companies and organisations from Norway and western Sweden will join forces in the MedCoast Scandinavia Pavilion. In particular they will show how world-class academic and applied research from western Scandinavia can be turned in to business through borderless collaboration and early network formation. Marine biology, nanotech and biomaterials are focus areas.
A luncheon seminar will be arranged on biomaterials where Rickard Brånemark from the implants producing company Integrum will show how life has changed for amputated patients having received new prosthesis on bone anchored implants. A patient will be brought to the seminar, to show how the biomaterial in the implants works.
SINTEF, the largest independent research institute in Scandinavia is arranging a workshop on “Microtechnology based Medical Devices” to highlight the services offered through the EU-project www.microbuilder.org by some of Europe's leading silicon microsystem and high precision plastic manufacturing as well as design players.
MedCoast Scandinavia is a Norwegian-Swedish network organisation based on Universities, Health Care organisations, companies in the extended Gothenburg – Oslo regional co-operation. The organisation is localised in both Oslo and Gothenburg, with Oslo Bio and GöteborgBIO as partners.
