Business development program MarketReach America, a partnership between the Maryland/Israel Development Center and The Trendlines Group, will host the Life Science & Medical Devices 2006 seminar and venture conference in Baltimore, Maryland, from June 19 to June 21.
Up to 20 selected Israeli life science and medical device companies will be tapped to introduce their products and technologies to strategic partners and investors, and receive feedback on their US market strategies from industry experts. The companies will have direct exposure to business development executives from companies such as Novation, Medtronic, MedImmune, and Bristol-Myers Squibb.
In addition, the companies will pitch their opportunity to angels, VC funds, and strategic investors, all of whom have a pre-qualified interest in investing in Israeli companies.
Trendlines managing director Tina Ornstein said, “The MarketReach America program connects some of Israel's most promising life science companies with strategic partners, investors, and regulatory authorities in the United States. For companies looking to initiate or increase their activity in the United States, MarketReach America provides very cost-effective access to the right audience."
Trendlines is an Israeli international marketing consulting and business development firm.
