Medical technology plays a key role in health and makes a contribution to improving quality of life. The spectrum of medical technology ranges from disposable products, IT-based applications to innovative technologies. In Baden-Württemberg, 836 companies are active in research, development and/or production in this field, making medical technology one of the most important economic sectors in the state.

Baden-Württemberg is currently home to 193 biotechnology companies, most of which specialise in so-called ‘red biotechnology’ - i.e. applications in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. The biotech sector includes not only traditional biotechnology companies, but also companies from the fields of bioinformatics, diagnostics, analytics and biotechnological production.

Baden-Württemberg is the leading location for the pharmaceutical industry in Germany. In addition to international industry giants such as Roche, Pfizer and Boehringer Ingelheim, numerous medium-sized pharmaceutical companies and innovative biotechnology companies specialising in pharmaceutical research and development are also based in this region.
