Medical device manufacturers typically evaluate engineering talent, clinical partnerships, research collaboration opportunities, validation environments and access to healthcare institutions.
In Riga, Latvia, these capabilities are supported by collaboration between universities, hospitals and research organisations. Biosan develops laboratory and diagnostic equipment used internationally, demonstrating local capabilities in life sciences equipment manufacturing. Riga also provides access to specialised clinical partners, including Riga 2nd Hospital, which collaborates with universities and researchers on biomaterials, bone regeneration, orthopaedic technologies, implant evaluation and medical device testing. This creates opportunities for development, validation and adoption of medical technologies.
