Medgadget Goes to 2008 Frost & Sullivan Excellence in Med Tech Awards

Frost & Sullivan‘s Excellence in Medical Technologies Awards is becoming a pleasant yearly affair for us (and, hopefully, it will stay this way). It is essentially the only conference that Medgadget editors unabashedly want to attend. This year’s awards banquet was once again a grand affair. Held at the Hyatt Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, the awards ceremony and a banquet featured some of the best and the brightest entrepreneurs of the medical devices and biotech industry. All of the companies selected for awards were rigorously analyzed and compared to their competitors by hundreds of Frost & Sullivan’s analysts from across the world. The idea is to “honor companies and individuals that have identified emerging trends before they have become the standard in the marketplace and have created advanced technologies that will catalyze industries in the near future.” Some of the firms were well known to us, while others were new wonderful discoveries. In the posts to follow, we will profile some of the winners.
We would like to thank Frost & Sullivan for giving us a chance to be there to meet the winners and for giving us an opportunity to bring these exciting emerging technologies to our readers.
