ZBMT Centre for Bio-Medical Technology (Zentrum für Bio-Medizintechnik)
Our Centre vor Bio-Medical Technology (ZBMT) particularly addresses the needs of companies, active in the field of biotechnology and medical engineering. As the first cluster building of the RWTH Aachen Campus Melaten, the ZBMT is located in one of the most ambitious projects in the Aachen region. The building offers premium office and laboratory areas on a total area of around 4,100 m², separated on four floors.
We offer superb workspace facilities next to the nearby research facilities, such as the Uniklinik RWTH Aachen (University Hospital) or the Helmholtz Institute for Biomedical Engineering.
The proximity between science and economy results in an innovative climate from which you can benefit: Intensive networking between the stakeholder and institutes as well as the possibility to easily identify outstanding cooperation opportunities are just two of them.

About 30 percent of the space at the ZBMT is available for technology-oriented start-ups. Already established companies in medical technology and biotechnology, the so-called "campus companies", have access to the majority of the space, around 70 percent. By means of a formal "matriculation", these companies are given the opportunity to develop new methods and products in cooperation with the RWTH Aachen University.
Offices
The bright offices have an average size of 21 square metres and have a modern ambience.
Laboratory rooms
The ZBMT offers laboratory rooms in different sizes for various purposes - depending on the needs. They have an easy-to-clean latex wall coating, and the floor coverings are made of dissipative synthetic rubber.
