The ecosystem Personalised Implants is an open innovation community where academic hospitals, knowledge institutes, SME’s and startups in the Northern Netherlands work together to deliver solutions tailored to the patients and to overcome shared challenges identified in the regular workflow for design and production of personalized implants. The ecosystem was made possible via the EU EFRO Program by Samenwerkingsverband Noord-Nederland (SNN), Ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat, Provincie Groningen and Gemeente Groningen. The overall coordination is managed by UMCG Innovation Center.
