•  The opening of the new building marks a significant milestone in the trajectory of ams OSRAM, whose purpose is to lead innovation in medical imaging technology on a global scale.
• The company is establishing itself as a pioneer in the field of medical and industrial imaging, offering advanced solutions for computed tomography (CT) and digital X-ray.

ams OSRAM, a global leader in X-ray imaging technology, has inaugurated its new design center in the heart of Valencia. Although the company has been operating in Valencia for 16 years, this new center, located in the iconic building at 60th Colon Street, reaffirms ams OSRAM’s commitment to innovation, development, and university collaboration, while positioning itself as a leading employer for design engineers in the region.

Leadership in medical imaging technology from Valencia

The company’s design center in Valencia has been a fundamental pillar in the development of technologies that allow Medical Imaging OEMs to produce high-precision images with minimal radiation doses. Since 2010, shortly after the inception of the Valencia design center, it has become a hub of innovation in medical imaging technology. The CT and X-ray sensors developed ensure highest reliability and outstanding performance, making medical diagnostics more accurate and enhancing diagnostic value with sharper images while reducing radiation doses for improved patient care.

In recent years, ams OSRAM has established itself as a pioneer in the field of medical and industrial imaging, offering advanced solutions for computed tomography (CT) and digital X-ray. With this new design center, the company plans to maintain its leadership position by developing next-generation solutions that improve the quality of medical diagnostics and, ultimately, patient care.

Jens Milnikel, Executive Vice President of ams OSRAM, emphasized that “the opening of our new design center in Valencia marks a significant milestone in our mission to lead innovation in medical imaging technology.” Meanwhile, Rafael Serrano-Gotarredonda, Director of Engineering for Medical Imaging at ams OSRAM, stated that “we aim to attract the best design engineers in the region by offering growth and development opportunities in a dynamic and technologically advanced environment. The expansion of the design center in Valencia reflects our commitment to the local community, providing opportunities for recent graduates and experienced professionals alike.”

University collaboration: driving innovation

To stay at the forefront of technological innovation, collaboration with local universities is an essential part of ams OSRAM’s strategy. In partnership with the University of Valencia (UV) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), ams OSRAM has co-financed Microelectronics professorship programs, supported by Spain’s Chips Act. These programs include doctoral scholarships and joint research projects, which have been fundamental in advancing medical imaging technology. Salvador Coll, Vice-Principal for Innovation and Transfer at the Polytechnic University of Valencia:stressed: “Our collaboration with ams OSRAM has been fundamental in driving the efforts of the Universitat Politècnica de València to promote the knowledge and research in semiconductors and microelectronics — and thus shape the future of Valencia as a hub for innovation in these fields.” And it should stay that way. Rafael Serrano noted that “although we are physically moving away from the university campus, collaboration with UPV and UV remains vital for us. We are committed to continuing our support through training programs and R&D projects that benefit both industry and academia.”

Strategic location in the heart of Valencia

The new center’s location in the city not only offers a dynamic and accessible environment for ams OSRAM employees but also enhances the company’s ability to collaborate with local partners and institutions. Proximity to public transportation is a major locational advantage, making this new design center an ideal workplace for local talent.
