In May 2016, Forsslund Systems delivered an updated Kobra simulator to University of Erlangen in Germany. Interesting enough, at this univeristy it is the faculty who has to pitch new purchases to the students. This means that it is the students who decide what new teaching equipment the school will buy, and they voted for the Kobra simulator. Erlangen becomes hereby the first city in Germany to have the oral surgery simultor. For more information about this, please contact CEO Jonas Forsslund: jonas@forsslundsystems.com.

In june 2011 Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) announced that they were building an all-new Medical Education Technology Centre, one of the first intellectual innovation hubs in medicine and healthcare in the Baltics. The ambition of RSU is to offer local and international medical and healthcare students the opportunity to use the advantages of advanced technological features throughout their study period. The centre is going to be equipped with up-to-date simulators and phantoms to provide high-quality programmes for international rehabilitation, medical, nursery and public health students.
In line with this ambition Rīga Stradiņš University called for open tenders in July 2012 to get simulators for the Centre. One of the calls was for Virtual Oral, Maxillo-Facial simulators. In November 2012 Forsslund Systems was announced as the winner of the open competition. In January 2013 Forsslund Systems delivered four surgery simulators to the Medical Education Technology Centre at RSU.
