Düsseldorf benefits greatly from the extensive infrastructure of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), which has made significant strides in rising in relevance as a medical technology cluster. NRW is home to around 750 medical technology companies, which generate over two billion euros in annual revenue. With a unique combination of well-known global corporations, innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and an extensive research network, Düsseldorf and NRW offer an ideal environment for the development and production of cutting-edge medical technologies. The medical equipment industry in Dusseldorf benefits from its proximity to a wide range of research institutions, including Max Planck, Fraunhofer, and Leibniz institutes. The close collaboration between these institutions and industry partners, particularly in the fields of research, development, and clinical testing, has been key to the region’s success. More than 60 technology and start-up centres across the region support this ecosystem. Düsseldorf’s role in this ecosystem is significant. The city is a hub for medical technology, attracting large corporations and specialised SMEs alike. These companies are engaged in developing life-enhancing products such as pacemakers, robotic suits that help people regain mobility after serious illnesses, and visual aids for the blind that use camera-based technology to read aloud and describe surroundings. These advancements have become essential components of modern healthcare, improving both diagnosis and treatment options. The digital revolution is also reshaping the healthcare and medical equipment industry in Düsseldorf and NRW. The growing importance of digital health, or e-health, is opening new avenues for innovation. The state’s initiative, eGesundheit.nrw, currently oversees more than 40 projects aimed at integrating information and communication technologies into healthcare systems. These projects are focused on enhancing patient care, developing new medical procedures, and offering digital services that improve overall healthcare delivery.
