Irvine is home to over 15,000 businesses, and life sciences and medical device companies constitute one of the fastest-growing sectors. With a global focus on the Medtech industry, the need to build an infrastructure that can support the explosive forecasted growth is more crucial than ever. A well-educated, job-ready workforce, world-renowned R&D facilities and community initiatives all conspire to make Irvine a magnet for Medtech success. So how is Irvine executing on their 50-year plan coming out of the pandemic, to ensure our medical device community is not only a hub of talent and innovation for California, but for the world?
