Welcome to BME Planet - a sustainable network for bioengineering innovation and translational research, a people-focused, parallel process. Our chief aims are to make visible the global fabric of this powerful field, and to harness global diversity to accelerate bioengineering impact on societal health and human dignity worldwide.

BME Planet is a consortium of universities, corporations, non-profit societies, and government organizations spanning six continents. This collaborative network aims to provide real-life education of new talent for the bioengineering workforce and enhanced translation of new bioengineering knowledge to products and services. The network has two primary areas of focus: upstream innovation and globally distributed design with multiple university-based hubs.

Highlights of BME Planet include:

• Multi-university undergraduate design projects
• International corporate internships
• Capstone incubators for translational technologies
• Emphasis on person-to-person links
• Enhanced corporate access to new markets
