European HealthTech Innovation Center

European HealthTech Innovation Centre is a state-of-the-art R&D centre operating in Zabrze at the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology, conducting interdisciplinary research, service, information, training, and promotion activities in the field of healthcare technologies. 

Launched in 2021, the Center has been equipped with the world-class technology and software, the best available on the world market. Our highly specialized labs and workshops are committed to boost knowledge and technologies applicable to medicine, rehabilitation, and sport, and develop new solutions and products to meet the challenges and needs in these fields.

The R&D infrastructure is used by the ambitious and experienced researchers of the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering to design, create and develop innovative technological solutions in bioinformatics, bioelectronics, biomechanics, and biomaterials. Our engineers generate new knowledge and participate in the development of new and the improvement of existing research methods.

One of the strategic goals of EHTIC is to build a business ecosystem in partnership with the socio-economic environment by organizing the collaboration of various actors contributing to the field of health technologies, and by creating, developing and implementing innovative medical technologies to improve disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment. 

An equally important element of our activity is the transfer of knowledge and technology to society, for example, through the organisation of training courses and seminars or the sharing of research results.

Our open-access laboratories and studios provide the support for the region’s small and medium-sized enterprises – we have an attractive offer for entrepreneurs and start-ups operating in the health technology industry. EHTIC does not only contribute to the development of innovative research and production techniques, but also has a real impact on raising the competitiveness of the region’s companies. 

Cooperation with EHTIC provides the opportunity to participate in both Polish and European technology platforms, creating chances to effectively exploit the opportunities presented by international cooperation and to compete with entities operating in the medical device industry.

The scope of our research and development activity goes in line with the development of technologies associated with the intelligent specialisations of the Silesian Voivodeship: medicine, information and communication technologies, and emerging industries.
