Plastics meets medical technology

Lecture as part of the network event of the Leipzig Plastics Center

From January 31 to February 1, 2024, the networking event “Plastics meets Medical Technology” of the Plastics Center will take place in Leipzig. The series of events offers an interface between plastics and medical technology, where experts from both sectors can meet and share their specialist knowledge on innovative approaches and tried-and-tested experiences.
As part of the event, Dr. Susanne Ebitsch, Executive Director of b-ACT matter, will give a presentation at BIO CITY Leipzig.

The plastics and medical technology industries are currently operating in a dynamic market environment: global megatrends such as sustainability, digitalization and demographic change are having a significant impact on decisions in companies and research institutions. How are both sectors dealing with the current challenges and far-reaching changes? What can be derived from this for your own company? The networking event will address these questions.
Theoretical requirements versus practical experience will be examined in detail in high-caliber presentations on topics such as materials, design, function & research, processes, measurement technology and quality.
Around 150 participants from all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland are expected to attend the event.

The event will be accompanied by exhibitors from both sectors, excursions to companies and scientific institutions involved in medical technology and medical research in Leipzig, as well as a networking evening at Da Capo.

One of the event excursions will go to BIO CITY: Dr Susanne Ebitsch, Executive Director of the Research and Transfer Centre for Bioactive Matter b-ACT matter, will give a lecture during the event and present the work of the centre as well as technologies based on so-called hybrid living materials.

  • Technologies for the sustainable production of polymers with living hybrid materials and enzymatic plastics recycling
