3. EPMap-System GmbH & Co KG: Medtech startup for ERM
Many a digital startup finds its business model in a special niche where it has a unique position. This is undoubtedly also true for the medtech company EPMap-System GmbH & Co KG in Herdecke, just outside Dortmund. The owner-managed company has existed in its current form since 2014, but can look back on a history of over 20 years. Originally, the company operated as a medical trading company with self-developed products for cardiology and radiology. Today, EPMap-System is a cardiology specialist that develops IT solutions for the application and networking of top cardiological products. The goal is an optimally coordinated offer for complete cardiology laboratories.
