For decades we’ve been seeing a sharp rise in the ageing population. People are getting older and fatal diseases are turning into chronic illnesses. Even though these are great achievements, they leave a growing population in need of care while the number of health practitioners stays the same. Simultaneously, personalized healthcare is rapidly replacing generic treatment methods. In the
long run, this is an unsustainable state of affairs. We should continuously innovate to maintain our high standards and keep a maturing population healthy. That’s why the Erasmus University Medical Center and the city of Rotterdam have initiated a campus where healthcare, technology and entrepreneurship come together.
Connecting health and technology
Erasmus MC Campus is closely related to the university medical center, connecting the worlds of health and tech to bring forth future-proof healthcare. We facilitate the full innovation spectrum, from ideation and prototyping to business development and implementation. We do so in an urban environment, with a strong connection to city and society.
We accommodate a diversity of organizations focusing on health and tech. The ecosystem contains ultramodern core facilities and optimal setting for clinical trials, enabling the residents to work together and put their innovations into practice while the medical center benefits from the newest technological advancements.
What we envision
Where healthcare meets the future
We envision a place where healthcare and technology visionaries help each other forward by sharing expertise and facilities. A place where innovation is fast-tracked throughout the whole cycle from ideation to implementation. Where faculties, companies and care facilities collaborate to make innovations applicable and to create a sustainably healthier future for all.
Answering tomorrow’s questions
Erasmus MC Campus consists of unique facilities for research and education. The campus houses a variety of innovative companies, and we stimulate its residents to form a close-knit community sharing their talent and expertise.
Based in Rotterdam and rooted in science, Erasmus MC Campus is a place for diligent visionaries to get together. It’s a place where innovators feel the freedom to answer tomorrow’s questions.
