The APTE Association is a global professional cooperation and knowledge organisation of currently more than 1000 partners who are leaders in their fields. Globally active companies, institutions and specialists come from five continents.

The main points of interest are micro/nanotechnologies, information and communication technologies, medical devices, biotechnologies and other forward-looking technologies. Members and partners are active in investment (private investors, institutional investors), research, technology development and application, innovation, industrial production, marketing and sales, management, education, human resources, ethics, law and economic promotion.

The main goal and common interest of the APTE Association is to give ourselves with the opportunity to take advantage of existing resources and potential to help us in our search for efficiency, excellence and concrete results. The strength of APTE lies also in forming connections between groups who may not otherwise come into contact. This creates the possibility for new, exciting projects.

APTE members meet regularly at APTEROS to exchange their expertise, ideas and projects. They are also kept informed about new developments in news bulletins called APTEinfo and specialised newsletters as, for example, APTEinfo Medical Devices. Moreover, the APTE Association provides basic services such as leading searches for partners.

If you think you could benefit from or contribute to our activities, please ask for membership at http://apte.net/forms – we are always happy to hear from you – personally or virtually!

Best regards from the founders: Gary O. Martini and Walter Hammer, the head of APTE Medical Devices: Dr. Emmanuel B. de Haller and the head of APTE Photonics: Alan J. Hutchison
