KMU-innovativ: Medical technology

Subject of the promotion

Funding is provided for high-risk industrial research and pre-competitive development projects with a strong connection to healthcare and applications in the form of individual company projects (individual projects) or cooperation projects between companies, research institutions and clinical partners (collaborative projects) to develop new products and processes for healthcare.

These research and development projects must be assigned to medical technology and be of significance for the company’s positioning in the market. The main objective of BMBF funding is to strengthen the position of SMEs by accelerating the transfer of knowledge and technology from the pre-competitive field to the practical day-to-day care of the healthcare industry.
