In the north hall Fracto had a counter and a display in the “Innovation Incubation” area for young companies, but no devices. Laurin showed courses that teach doctors, nurses and technicians how to operate medical devices, mainly for work in intensive care, the emergency department and the operating room. The courses are available in several languages.
