2022 Michigan Medical Device Summit - Session 3
A Resilient MedTech Manufacturing and Supply Chain Ecosystem
Session Description
Michigan’s MedTech cluster has grown increasingly by offering extraordinary capabilities ranging from R&D to contract manufacturing, logistics and aftermarket service. But is the state’s ecosystem doing all it can to support every phase of company growth, help create successful new ventures and advance the continued success of established companies?
What needs to be done to better connect the regional MedTech ecosystem, expand opportunities for technology partnerships, develop a resilient supply chain, ensure a strong talent pipeline, and promote a visible brand, among other necessary building blocks? In short, how does Michigan become a top tier MedTech cluster through our collective stakeholder efforts?
