CIM² – Clinical Innovation Meeting 2024

Bridging the Gap Between Startups and Clinics

The Clinical Innovation Meeting (CIM²), held on November 15, 2024, was a landmark event that highlighted the transformative potential of medical technology startups and their collaborations with clinics. Hosted by Life Science Accelerator Baden-Württemberg and CUBEX ONE & CUBEX 41 (NEXT MANNHEIM), the event provided a unique platform for fostering connections between the healthcare sector and emerging innovations.

With over 60 participants, half of whom were clinic representatives from top hospitals and healthcare institutions, and the other half from 18 innovative startups spanning Germany, France, Latvia, Israel, and beyond, the event was a testament to the growing synergy between startups and healthcare providers. The primary objective was to showcase validated innovation ideas that could enhance clinical routines while offering startups valuable access to clinic decision-makers and networks.

It was a privilege to contribute to the amazing discussions and connect with so many innovative minds. Special thanks to the organizers for making this meeting such a success!

Innovative Solutions at CIM² 2024

The startups presented a wide array of groundbreaking solutions, including AI-powered tools for surgical training, 5G-enabled surgical device networks, contactless patient monitoring, and AI-assisted voice protocols for anesthesia management. A standout moment was the presentation by QUMEAs, a Swiss startup that began its entry into the German market following successful matchmaking at the previous WE CARE - Startup Innovation for Care event. Their patient monitoring solution, after being trialed at the INSPIRE Living Lab, is now actively used in multiple clinics across the region.

The event also featured a panel discussion between Anna Windisch of QUMEAs and Dr. Hannah Krause, where they shared insights into the dos and don’ts of collaboration between startups and clinics. Their discussion emphasized the importance of trust, transparency, and a patient-centric approach in developing clinical solutions.

Our goal with CIM² was simple: to create an environment where innovation and clinical expertise meet on an equal footing. It was fantastic to see so many exciting technologies from startups being shared with clinics that are eager to adopt and integrate them. We are confident that the relationships built at this event will lead to fruitful collaborations, and we look forward to seeing these innovations make an impact in patient care in the near future.
