TouchPoints: Finding your healthtech research partner at UHasselt
Did you know that groundbreaking healthtech innovations are being developed at Flemish universities and university hospitals – right in your backyard?
Universities and hospitals are rich sources of innovation, but many promising projects never make it past the pilot stage. By partnering with academic research teams and a clinical research center, companies can tap into cutting-edge developments and help them to become market-ready solutions.
Biovia’s free TouchPoints series connects healthtech companies with Flemish university’s Tech Transfer offices, making it easier than ever to discover research that could fuel your next big breakthrough. This session features UHasselt.
The program includes introductions by associated institutes and research departments, followed by matchmaking and networking.

Before the TouchPoints event (Biovia x UHasselt) starts, participants are invited to join an exclusive guided visit to UHasselt’s MOVElab: a unique research facility within the faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences where movement, rehabilitation, and technology come together. Discover how innovative measurement and analysis techniques are used to better understand and enhance human movement.
The visit takes place at the same location as the TouchPoints event, starting at 1pm and will be followed by the main program starting at 2pm. (Location: Wetenschapspark 7, 3590 Diepenbeek).
