Investors inject billions of dollars into biomedical startups, with Q3 2020 marking the largest quarter on record in terms of dollars for venture investments in lie sciences. In fact, according to JP Morgan, VC funding surpassed $100 million in the biopharma, medical technology, and tools and diagnostics space continues to increase. “The record-high levels of capital being infused into the life sciences sector underscores the immense disruption we’re about to see in this space,” said Melissa Magestro, VP and Group Portfolio Director of BIOMEDevice Boston. “What this means, though, is there is a critical need for education on how to best navigate this influx of investment, which we are proud to offer BIOMEDevice Boston attendees.”
“We are thrilled to announce that we’re curating a full day of educational content in partnership with BIOMEDevice that will explore hot topics and emerging trends impacting the startup world,” said Rachel Robinson, Vice President, MassMEDIC. “The speaker lineup is extraordinary, with senior leaders from Encora Therapeutics, Alva Health, Precision Medicine, PA Consulting, and so many more influential trailblazers in this space.”
