LABconnect: Connecting northern Germany.
For the laboratory of the future.
LABconnect is Life Science Nord’s innovation network for the laboratory industry in northern Germany.
The laboratory industry faces a variety of challenges: a shortage of skilled professionals, strict regulatory requirements, and new technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation.
LABconnect was established to address these challenges through a strong network, professional advancement opportunities, and personal exchange. Its mission is to strengthen connections between stakeholders from industry, research, and laboratory practice, enabling collaboration and unlocking shared potential.
The network is open to everyone working in or with laboratories. This includes professionals from companies with R&D activities, research institutions, hospitals and clinics, as well as laboratory service providers, laboratory equipment and supply distributors, and many others.
If this sounds like you, we warmly welcome you to the LABconnect network!
Build new connections, share knowledge, develop ideas together, and drive innovation forward – join a community that brings people together.
Simply send a short message to wallbott@lifesciencenord.de to join our mailing list and stay informed about all upcoming activities. Participation in all LABconnect activities is free of charge.
