This year, the Hungarian Hospital Association organized their regular annual general meeting focusing on the topic regarding the "Hospital of the Future". The conference was held in Eger from the 10th through the 12th of April, 2019, and was hosted in association with a professional exhibition. Various healthcare related corporate entities and health care providers which participated in the exhibition presented their future-oriented solutions projected to fully meet the technological challenges of the age, which will ideally contribute to the improvement of the quality of domestic (Hungarian) health care.

Remarkably, this is the first time representatives of the University of Pecs Medical School participated including the "Development of Skill Labs Project” (EFOP-4.2.2-16-2017-00001). Their exhibition focused on the professional objectives of the project, their current status and their future plans, including professional consultation in reference to the national program in the consortium.

Nevertheless one of the most exciting program of the Congress was the ”Future Hospital Exhibition”, in which the PTE 3D Center presented healthcare related 3D printing technologies and human exoskeletons, which are the latest achievements of rehabilitation robotics. An important objective of the University's participation was to strengthen its market presence, and enhance corporate relations. The efforts of the PTE 3D Center staff successfully resulted in two emerging cooperative agreements with Speeding, Kft, and CAE Healthcare Hungary, Kft. Additionally, several exhibition corporate entities are interested in the research and development portfolio at the University of Pecs.
