4. Innovation is not technology – it is new ways of doing business, new
governance structures, new partnerships, new strategies.
Innovation is a social process – not just technology development but
commercialization based on networks of competencies and insights.
Innovation is based on meritocracy – what you bring to the table is far
more important than location, demographics, assets!

Device
Sector
• Traditional orthopedics has
relied on the manipulation of
metals through several
engineering applications. Yet,
polymers and new plastic
compounds will shift the entire
enterprise impacting the need
for different types of testing
equipment and manufacturing,
tissue development, basic and
translational research among
biological and physical
sciences.
• Simply put, this is truly an
engineering solution rather
than a biologically-bound
dilemma.
