The region is frequently cited as hosting the largest contingency of medical device start-ups in the country.

The BIOMEDevice Exposition features 350 leading OEM suppliers interested in reaching this valuable, untapped medical device manufacturing region. The BIOMEDevice audience includes thousands of medical design and manufacturing professionals, biopharma development and manufacturing professionals, and senior executives focused on new product innovation and development. BIOMEDevice fosters collaborative new product development and partnering between medical OEM and biopharma executives.
