IE Business School is glad to invite you and the members of your network to join the sixth in a series of videoconferences titled Biotechnology Management Today, on Thursday, May 20th at 15:00 (Madrid local time) or 21:00 (Singapore local time).

Speaker
Carolina Aguilar – Neuromodulation’s Market Development Manager for Europe and Central Asia (ECA). Medtronic European Headquarters, Switzerland

Content
This conference will give an overview about how medical technology innovation will fundamentally transform health care delivery, providing new solutions that might have been considered science fiction just some years ago but that are quickly becoming the standard of care. It will focus on the barriers and drivers of the Medical Device industry compared to the Pharmaceutical industry explaining why the pace of the medical invention is accelerating leading to an extremely attractive market space.

Carolina Aguilar will also showcase one of these examples of medical innovation, covering the journey from pipeline to market of Medtronic Deep Brain Stimulation, a technology for which Medtronic has been recognized as one of the world’s most innovative companies by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in March 2010.
