Physical proximity to a hospital facilitates clinical trials and clinical collaborations. Proximity to a University means connecting with a concentrated talent pool. Being part of an established R&D cluster allows access to cutting-edge research facilities not otherwise available. For both large companies and SMEs, LIHE is the single point of contact for these critical connections.
