Digital Health Hub powered by Medical Valley & ZOLLHOF

The Digital Hub Initiative

The Digital Hub Initiative, developed by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, seeks to support the establishment of digital hubs in Germany. The underlying idea of establishing hubs is that cooperation between companies and business start-ups within a confined area (like in the Silicon Valley) will boost innovation, especially in the digital age.

Cooperation and networking in a common space is the breeding ground for new innovative products and business models. In this way, a regional “hub ecosystem” can be created where new ideas emerge and digital transformation is taken forward. Therefor necessary are hubs with international appeal / reach, in which German and international business start-ups, scientists, investors and established companies mutually support and strengthen each other.

In April / May 2017, 12 hubs were chosen in Germany. Medical Valley in Erlangen and ZOLLHOF – Tech Incubator in Nuremberg together were able to assert themselves as Digital Health Hub Nuremberg / Erlangen.

The Digital Hub Nuremberg / Erlangen powered by Medical Valley & ZOLLHOF is establishing new structures, changing existing processes, promoting innovative business models and stimulating innovations for the growing health market through consistent and effective enforcement of digitisation in the field of healthcare. The aim is to improve the quality of healthcare.

The Digital Hub Health focuses on the topics of databases for recording and organising histories of healthcare and illness, big data and artificial intelligence to generate knowledge for the prevention and early detection of illnesses, and IoT applications as a playful way to get citizens participating in healthy activities.
