Dear Sir or Madam, Since October 2022, our Cluster has a new spokesman. Prof. Dr. Heyo Kroemer, Chairman of the Board of Charité – University Medical Center Berlin, describes in our interview the current challenges for medicine and the healthcare industry and the potentials that arise from them. One example of the current challenges is dealing with “Long COVID.” In the capital region there are a number of networks and initiatives that conduct research on this topic, exchange ideas and work to improve care for those affected. Our article provides an overview of the activities. Part of the potential described by Prof. Kroemer is the “highly innovative work” that is possible in the region. Start-ups are an important component of this ecosystem. Learn how start-ups are supported here in our special article. Or – even better – get to know the actors directly on site. Good opportunities are offered again in the spring by DMEA (04/25-27/2023) or BIONNALE (05/16-17/2023) We look forward to exchanging ideas with you! Your Dr. Kai Uwe Bindseil Berlin Partner for Business and Technology |
