Medical device firms growing in South Florida

Medical device firms growing in South Florida - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com:

"Florida is the fastest-growing state in creating new biotech companies and ranks second in medical device firms, according to global research firm Battelle. The southeastern region of the state, which includes Broward and Palm Beach counties, has the largest number of bioscience companies in Florida, as tracked by a University of Florida life science database.

Venture capitalists and investors are taking notice, listening to pitches at last week's BioFlorida conference from local firms seeking partners and funding. But there are many hurdles to success.

For medical devices, those challenges include ongoing financing of research, completing successful clinical trials, paying for expensive regulatory approvals, and ultimately getting hospitals and doctors to use the products."
