Between Tübingen, Hechingen and Tuttlingen
More than 800 companies and over 50,000 employees make up the medtech sector in the state. They cover a broad spectrum of medical technology – from simple products such as bandages to high-tech and innovative systems. With an annual turnover of almost 14 billion euros, MedTech is one of the most important industries in Baden-Württemberg. The largest “revenue generators” are surgical instruments, therapeutic systems and devices as well as implants and exoprostheses.
In addition to big names such as Aesculap/B. Braun Melsungen, Bruker BioSpin or STRATEC Biomedical, the sector is organised on a very small scale. Over 70 percent of MedTech companies have fewer than 10 employees. MedTech Valley – this designation applies in particular to the Neckar-Alb region with Tübingen and Tuttlingen as well as Hechingen at its centre. This is where the medical technology cluster of Baden-Württemberg is located. Tuttlingen – the “city of healing knives” – is regarded as the German medical technology centre par excellence with over 500 local medtech companies. Hechingen has more than 70 medtech companies. The city’s largest employer, with 1,400 employees, is a Baxter International dialysis machine plant. Tübingen is involved in MedTech Valley primarily as a research location because of the university, the university hospitals and its scientific institutions.
