Welcome to our 3rd annual Washington State Biomedical Device SummitSpecial thanks to Dr. Bill Christopher and Cascadia Community College for hosting us at Mobius HallBackground on Biomedical Device Innovation ZoneIn September 2007, Governor Chris Gregoire formally recognized the significance of the medical device manufacturing and ultra sound research activities in the Bothell Technology Corridor by designating the City of Bothell as the Biomedical Device Innovation Zone for Washington State. A partnership was formed to foster programs and promote a center of excellence and innovation for the biomedical device industry.Since its founding we’ve seen: growing recognition of the medtech industry in Washington Bothell is currently home to 5 of the top 10 med tech firms in the state with two more in cities adjacent (by revenues and number of employees) - Increased involvement from industry leadership strong sponsorship from the supporting industries new relationships with brokers and property owners to create opportunities for growing and expanding firms New initiatives: a non-profit board is being established to manage the organization’s activities a partnership has been formed with the UW Center for Commercialization (formerly office of tech transfer) to collaborate and explore the establishment of a MedTech Discovery Center with a medtech incubator as its primary program offering to start. the project has received a $500,000 grant from the state of Washington in support of the project semi-annual C-level roundtable lunches for industry executives to share information and resourcesThe WBBA’s has also founded a new Wings – Washington State Medical Technology Angel Network Lots of activity and an overall strong track record of success
