Siemens Healthineers today opened its new Education & Development Center (EDC) in Erlangen, Germany.

The medtech giant said the three-year project cost around 60 million euros, an investment in the company’s strategy to address a predicted shortage of skilled workers. The center will offer medical device training for customers and in-house specialists.

“We want to continue to be one of the most attractive employers in the region and in Germany,” Elisabeth Staudinger, a member of the Managing Board of Siemens Healthineers, said in a news release. “Lifelong learning for our employees is our focus. That’s why we invest in high-quality training opportunities in an appealing working environment that benefit customers and employees alike. Erlangen and the region is and will remain a global hotspot for innovative medical technology.”

Erlangen is one of the company’s three global training centers. It’s also the central location for education in Germany, focusing on IT, electronics and business administration.

The seven-story, open-plan building has approximately 11,000 square meters of space. The EDC has 10 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, two angiography systems and a photon-counting computed tomograph for training. There are also five electrical laboratories, a technical project room, and training rooms with cameras and remote technology for virtual courses.

The EDC has room for at least 240 trainees and integrated degree program participants and can train 150 people per day on the on-site medical equipment. Siemens Healthineers also uses VR glasses and simulators for digital training.

Siemens Healthineers is the third-largest medical device in the world, according to Medical Design & Outsourcing‘s 2022 Medtech Big 100 ranking by revenue.
