‘Cross-Border RegMed COOP’ workshop

The regional Community for Regenerative Medicine (in short RegMed-community) was launched in march 2014. The project supported, by the province, has never stopped growing. It's time to look ahead: creating an open, innovative legal cross-border structure. On the 4th of September several options (in particular the cooperative structure) will be presented by experts and are open for discussion. Interaction and cooperation with all cross-border members is the purpose. Come and join the active RegMed Community!

Up till now more than 40 members have joined the multidisciplinary platform. Regional governments, university labs, pharmaceutical companies (spin offs, SME or larger), hospitals, 3D-printing specialists, all sort of suppliers... venture capitalists and legal advisors are active participants. Crossborder cooperation with Nederlands Limburg has been established and the closing of the regional value chain is advancing. In two open access cases (lens free microscope and monitoring & control in bioreactors) several members are exploring the potential of collaborative efforts across disciplines and are experiencing advanced insights.

For the 8th Community Meeting in September the goal is to organise a 'Cross-Border RegMed COOP' workshop' to enable an open discussion with Belgian and Dutch participants on how we could further cooperate across the RegMed value chain.
