Acatech is the first national science academy in Germany and represents the technology sciences in Germany and abroad. The Academy advises politics and society on technology-related issues. The DGBMT and acatech cooperate especially in the field of bioimplants.

The DGBMT is a member of the AWMF, which currently comprises 162 scientific societies from all areas of medicine. The AWMF represents Germany in the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS).

It initiates, maintains and promotes networks of innovative medicine across the disciplines and promotes innovations that take into account the patients' and users' needs from the outset. The DGBMT extends the cluster's network nationwide and across Europe.

The network serves as a source for the launch of new joint R&D projects and as an information platform.

DiagnostikNet-BB covers the complete value-added chain of in-vitro diagnostics.

The German Society of Surgery (DGCH), currently with 6,600 members, was founded in 1872 in Berlin. Hence existing for more than 140 years it is one of the oldest scientific medical societies. The DGBMT holds numerous joint events with the DGCH to promote the transfer of knowledge from technical development to clinical application and vice versa.

The DGMP's mission is to promote science in the field of "medical physics", including medical technology, in particular the application of physical methods in medicine. The DGBMT and the DGMP are linked by numerous joint activities and events.

The DGBMT is a member of EAMBES, which represents the interests of biomedical technology at a European level. Dr. Imhoff represents the DGBMT in the managament board of EAMBES.

The fbmt unites engineers, medical technicians, buyers, doctors, as well as others interested in medical technology / hospital technology. Members work in the health sector, e. g., hospitals, in the medical industry, in planning offices, service companies, authorities.

The Research Center for Medical Device Regulation Affairs (FMPR) has existed since 2005 at the Faculty of Law of the University of Augsburg. It is still the only one of its kind in Europe. The FMPR focuses on interdisciplinary research as well as on the transfer of knowledge through practice-oriented advanced trainings.

The GMDS is an independent scientific-medical association that represents the combined disciplines of medical documentation, medical informatics, medical biometry and epidemiology in order to promote teaching, research and health care. The DGBMT and the GMDS are linked through joint activities and a regular professional exchange.

The purpose of the ÖGBMT is to encourage cooperation between persons who are interested in the joint work in the field of natural sciences and engineering sciences, on the one hand, and in biology and medicine on the other. The Austrian, Swiss and German Societies for Biomedical Engineering, ÖGBMT, SGBT and DGBMT, hold a joint conference on Biomedical Engineering every three years.

The SGBT is an association of engineers, physicists, natural scientists, medical doctors, etc. who are active in biomedical engineering engineering in academia, research or industry. The Society promotes contacts between members and people interested in the field of biomedical engineering. Every three years the joint annual meeting BMT is organized by DGBMT, ÖGBMT and SGBT.
