PLANETS @ 3rd Austrian Life Science Day

On 8 October 2025, the 3rd Austrian Life Science Day took place in Linz, Austria, bringing together stakeholders to discuss solutions for making the healthcare and medical technology sectors more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

The event was organised by the Medical Technology Cluster (MTC) Upper Austria, with the support of Life Science Austria (LISA), Human.Technology.Styria, Innovation.Salzburg, LISAvienna, ECOplus and the Standortagentur Tirol.

The PLANETS project was represented by Martin Himly (PLUS) and Andreas Falk (BNN).
