HTRIC Events
2023
Reserve your spot!
Below you’ll find an overview of all our events. During the Innovation Boosters, we’ll have a panel of speakers there to share their knowledge with you. All you have to do is take a seat and be inspired. The Boosters are hosted on Thursday afternoons with drinks afterwards. A great way to learn, exchange knowledge and connect with others.
During the Workshops, we wish to dive deeper in certain topics and provide you with tools and tips to develop. Prepare for a morning of brainstorming, discussing and learning about topics such as storytelling, design thinking and much more.
All Innovation Boosters and Workshops are hosted at Space Werkcafé, on the third floor at Blauwborgje 31. Keep an eye on our website and socials, or sign up for our newsletter if you want to be the first to know about HTRIC events. We look forward to seeing you there!

Schedule
Join us for the Personalised Implants Closing Event
We are excited to announce, that we will host the Personalised Implants Ecosystem closing event, on 22nd November from 14:45 to 17:00. The location will be announced shortly.
The 4-years open innovation ecosystem Personalised Implants was initiated to deliver patient-specific solutions through the joint expertise of its multidisciplinary partners in the optimization of materials, production and processes for implant design and manufacturing. The program started in 2019 with subsidy made available by Samenwerkingsverband Noord-Nederland (SNN), the Ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat en het Europees Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling (EFRO), with further support from the Province of Groningen and the Municipality of Groningen.
Partners of the ecosystem are the companies Polyvation, Witec Fijn Mechanics, Biomacs, Bether Encapsulates, Smart Polymers, VDL Wientjes, Elbo Technics, Innovizie, EV Biotech and H&P Moulding.
From the UMCG, the departments involved are the 3D Lab and Oral and Maxillofacial surgery (Group Prof. Max Witjes en Dr. Joep Kraeima), Traumasurgery (Group Dr. Frank Ijpma), Biomedical Engineering (Group Dr. Patrick van Rijn) and Medical Biology (Group Prof. Marco Harmsen).
The Biofabrication group of the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials (Group Dr. Gosia Wlodarczyk-Biegun ) has joined from the University of Groningen together with the Hanzehogeschool of Applied Sciences, Kenniscentrum Biobased Economy with the group of Dr. Jeroen Siebring.
More information about the ecosystem is available on their website.
What to Expect:
Insights: Explore outcomes from five innovation projects funded through our 4-year program, featuring concise 10-minute presentations.
Discussion: Engage in an open discussion session to share thoughts and ideas on the future of MedTech in the region and beyond.
Wrap-up: Discover new MedTech initiatives, followed by closing remarks.
