As part of the SuPlaMed cross-cluster project, we invite you to a practical workshop.

Overview

The Medical Technology Cluster and the Industrial Biotechnology Cluster are working together with their networks in the SuPlaMed cross-cluster project to analyze the potential of bioplastics for more sustainable medical technology and at the same time to develop ways to achieve greater independence from international supply chains.

Together with you, we would like to develop synergies between the players in this workshop and work on issues for a more sustainable future.

Whether you are an expert or have basic knowledge, take part, discuss with the community and let's initiate the next steps together.
