IEEE-USA & LifeScience Alley ™ TechMatch 2008
to Highlight Medical Device Entrepreneurs
IEEE-USA is partnering with
LifeScience
Alley™ to create a new event that will benefit
members of both organizations. TechMatch 2008
will take place on May 12, 2008, at the Radisson Plaza
Hotel, just prior to the 7th Annual MedTech
Investing Conference (May 13-14) in Minneapolis,
Minnesota.
The goal is for selected small and emerging medical
device companies to meet with Chief Technology Officers
of larger life science/medical device firms, as well as
with venture capitalists, corporate investors and angel
investors. These one-on-one meetings will allow the
emerging companies to showcase their technologies for
the purpose of acquisition by corporations or investment
by others.
Applicants will be pre-screened and provided with
coaching prior to the event. The program will kick off
with a luncheon featuring a keynote address by one of
Minnesota's most well-respected life science
entrepreneurs, Mike Berman, investor/entrepreneur;
co-founder of Velocimed, and former President of Boston
Scientific’s (Scimed) Cardiology business. The afternoon
will be filled with pre-arranged one-on-one meetings and
the program will conclude with a joint networking
reception of the TechMatch participants as well as
incoming guests for the MedTech Investing Conference.
