Inside Brabant’s Value Chain for Medical Robotics

For decades, technologies that require pinpoint accuracy and high complexity have been built in the province. In Brabant, the medical sector is closely aligned with the high-tech industries, notably in the work of Philips Healthcare and also evident in the series of innovations in X-ray machines, starting as far back as 1927 with the world’s first portable X-ray machine.

Brabant is home to numerous robotics suppliers and programmers, meaning that specialist components are easy to obtain and do not always have to be shipped from the other side of the world. In many instances, these advanced components can be manufactured within the province.
