The unique feature of the MMT Campus is the close proximity of companies, clinics, and research institutions within walking distance. This enables medical products to be developed faster and more efficiently than elsewhere.

MMT-Campus — Mannheim Medical Technology Campus
MMT Campus: Speed and Efficiency
The healthcare sector is shaped by complex technology, regulations, and risks. To achieve speed and efficiency from product development to production, start-ups, companies, research, and clinics must collaborate closely. This works particularly well where industry stakeholders meet at physical interfaces: at the Mannheim Medical Technology (MMT) Campus.
The MMT Campus surrounds the University Medical Center Mannheim, providing direct, barrier-free, walkable connections from engineers to clinicians. Several buildings for companies, start-ups, and research institutions are already built and leased, with more under construction or planning. Facilities include offices, labs, workshops, cleanrooms, coworking and conference spaces, as well as housing for research and project staff. Temporary space shortages can be addressed flexibly at the centrally located Business Development Center CUBEX ONE.
Living labs on campus allow product development under real-world conditions. This fully integrated, dynamic approach at the Mannheim site ensures greater speed and efficiency for the healthcare industry.
Campus motto:
“Entrepreneurs, clinicians, and researchers are only as far apart as a cup of coffee stays hot.”
Campus Layout
From patient care at University Medical Center Mannheim (blue), a walkway through an underpass leads to the new medical research and teaching campus of Heidelberg University in Mannheim (yellow), continuing across the plaza to start-ups and health industry companies at the core of the campus (white) – all barrier-free in less than five minutes.
Facilities and Offerings
As an innovation and transfer ecosystem for medical technology, the MMT Campus provides tailored space for companies at various stages, business models, and health technologies, as well as their partners in R&D projects. This includes Living Labs along the treatment path, designed for cooperative development and testing of new healthcare technologies in clinical practice.
