I am beyond thrilled with the launch of CoLab. Tech. in Adelaide, Australia. Why have we developed and launched Colab Tech? ⁉ Australia imports more than 80% of its medical devices. The USA imports less than 20% of their medical devices. 😥 Australias rate of Industry - Academia collaboration, is the lowest in the OECD. 😟 Australias economic complexity ranking is 93 from 133 countries, sitting just above Pakistan and below Uganda, and we continue to slide further behind. 😔 A widely recognised critical skills gap in Med Tech manufacturing, including quality, regulatory and commercialisation. Have a read below what we are doing here at Colab Tech to try and help address some of these worrying points above.
🎉 CoLab. Tech. has launched in such a memorable way with a fantastic opening night! Check out the action packed highlight clip. 🤝 Bringing together medical, engineering, business, science and industry professionals to collaborate on #innovative #medical #device projects to deliver health system efficiencies and improved patient outcomes with #advanced #medical #technology solutions. 🙏 Our sincere gratitude and thanks to everyone who made this vision a reality. We had guests fly in from all around Australia and some internationally for the event. Thank you to Minister Susan Close and Minister Kyam Maher for officiating the facility opening. 💪 We are proud to announce or official partners to date with Additive Surgical, Actis Medical, Evolution Surgical, Flinders University, and the Medical Device Partnering Program. 👏 Our capability at CoLab. Tech. runs deep with highly skilled med tech staff capable of taking a medical device from ideation right through to market. We have in-house polymer and titanium 3D printing, laser marking, performance testing equipment, validation equipment, ISO Class 7 Cleanroom, and all in an ISO13485 accredited facility!
