Innovative medical technologies such as active and non-active implantable medical devices, care products, medical imaging, surgical robotics, and diagnostic aid tools are… revolutionizing healthcare practices and paving the way for more effective and personalized solutions.
Driven by a network of dynamic SMEs, the MedTech sector shows strong R&D activity. This R&D model relies primarily on the establishment of long-term public-private partnerships, precisely the core mission of Atlanpole Biotherapies, which has made innovative medical technologies one of the strategic pillars of its roadmap.
