Jens Hutzenlaub mecora Medizintechnik GmbH Treasurer 4 Introduction Welcome to MedLife – the newly formed network for life sciences and medical technology located in Aachen. Biomedica in 2007, which today is the leading annual conference for life sciences within the Euregio Meuse-Rhine. Created by the merger of LifeTecAachen-Jülich and the Aachen Centre for Competence in Medical Technology (AKM) at the beginning of 2015, MedLife is now an association with over 80 stakeholders (companies, universities, startups) in the life sciences sector. This unique combination holds great potential for innovation, cooperation and synergies and establishes MedLife as a key partner regionally and nationally and internationally. Based upon a first strategic analysis, we at MedLife have identified several key fields of future involvement: First and foremost, the attraction of venture capital investments for start-ups and SMEs in the region. Additionally, MedLife will foster the formation of innovative startup companies through consulting, business planning and practical support. One of the main goals of MedLife is to create an effective networking platform for companies in the life science sector as well as to accelerate technology transfer by linking academic researchers with companies to bring innovative products to the market. Many of our events and services support this vital exchange between researchers, founders, and experienced entrepreneurs, which often leads to new projects and successful collaborations. In addition MedLife is in close contact with national and international life sciences associations and clusters to continually grow and establish further contacts and activities. One example of our constructive cooperation with key life sciences networks in Belgium and The Netherlands is the initiation of the Furthermore MedLife wants to become a significant and powerful life sciences cluster that is recognized on a national and international level. Thus, the network will be extended beyond the region and complemented by new partners and competences. We are convinced that MedLife will become a key source for both current and future members which are engaged and inspired by the innovation-rich life science sector in the Aachen and North Rhine Westphalia region. We are very much looking forward to your contact and hope to see you soon! Yours faithfully, Dr. Henning Steinhagen Chairman, MedLife e.V.

Based in Germany and the US, Medical Adhesive Revolution seeks to change the game, introducing a one-ofits-kind range of polyurethane based glues. The technology is unique, as it combines ease of use, strength, flexibility and biodegradability. Two products are currently under development: The first has been designed for dermal use, to close a great variety of topical wounds faster, more accurately and with fewer complications. The Second is designated for use inside the body: either as an adhesive, to seal areas of leakage or re-attach tissue, or as a hemostat, to stop (even arterial) bleeding. Founded in 2013, but based on a technology which had been developed since 2007, the VCbacked start-up expanded to the USA in 2015 and is now in the process of preparing their product approval applications in Europe and overseas. It is the team’s vision to bring their wound sealants into every Emergency Room, Operating Room and soldier’s medical pack, to save lives, radically enhance surgical procedures and improve patient comfort. metek Medizin Technik Komponenten GmbH Bundesstraße 107 52159 Roetgen · Germany Dipl.-Ing.

(DWI – Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials) focuses on the development of materials with active and adaptive properties, after being founded in 1952 with an original emphasis on keratin research and protein chemistry. The capability for active adaptation and interactivity is one of the most profound challenges of today’s materials research and will ultimately lead to the evolution of structural via functional to intelligent materials. At DWI scientists with backgrounds in polymer sciences, biotechnology and chemical engineering closely collaborate on mastering this challenge. The research approach at DWI is based on integrating molecular components, whose structure and dynamics are orchestrated by complex interactions on various length scales, into macroscopic materials, devices and in the end systems. For exceeding the passive functionalities of existing materials, DWI researches on switchable material properties, the application of memory effects, the integration of energy conversion systems, as well as on internal feedback mechanisms. Beyond materials aspects the DWI team aims at an integration of active characteristics into interacting material systems. The fields of application are diverse, dealing with surface finishing, biomedical technology, biotechnology and sustainable chemical engineering.

Since 2009 the StädteRegion Aachen is the democratically legitimated institution for the Aachen Region. Known for its historical and cultural variety, highly influenced by the three country-border to the Netherlands and Belgium, the scenic landscape of the Eifel and the scientific enrichment of the RWTH-Excellence-University in Aachen, the StädteRegion Aachen has great economic and cultural impact on transnational cooperation. Due to this convenient geographical location, crossborder synergies get mobilized e. g. in the working market or in educational and cultural activities. Therefore the StädteRegion Aachen takes on various municipal tasks, for example in the field of transport planning or economical promotion, with the effort to appear more outward, reducing the administrative work and strengthen the economic and social value throughout the region.
