Increasing success for Australian inventions in medical technology is leading to more and more activity.
Investment funds have been more available in this industry and governments are encouraging many businesses and individuals with a wide range of incentives.
It’s an area in which some of the most promising inventions come from small start-ups, so it’s little wonder Australia is punching above its weight.
But it’s also an area of fierce competition and complex technology, so well formulated IP protection and strategy is essential.
