The medtech industry is a fast-changing one. Manufacturers should always keep up with the latest technology. As both DiSalvo and Tully said, “Invest in the future.”“As a small company, you tend to be more nimble, and you have to work hard to stay relevant in the market,” Carver added. “Update manufacturing processes, technology and the equipment being used, and continue to expand your capabilities.”
“Evolution is key. You need to remain relevant,” DiSalvo noted.

“Are they investing in the future, such as people development and training, technology advancements, equipment upgrade and culture work around core values and purpose of the organization?” she said.
