Organisation
Universities and regional development agencies in the Meuse Rhine Triangle have joined forces in order to strengthen the regional life sciences cluster more efficiently. Their aim is to promote cross-border cooperation, to bring together science and business and to attract foreign investors.
Seven partners still aim to create a 'Silicon Valley' of medical technology and biotechnology in the cross-border region. The European Union has been supporting the initiative 'Heartbeat of Life Sciences in Europe Meuse Rhine Triangle' in the framework of INTERREG III. For more than 3 years the regional development agency of the Aachen region, AGIT, is co-ordinating the activities.
