The mission of the Upper Valley Medtech Collaborative is to create a vibrant medtech community.  We will do this by: 

• Raising awareness of medtech activities within the Upper Valley 
• Enabling collaboration among medtech innovators (through in-person meetings, social media and web). 
• Broadening awareness of the Upper Valley medtech community beyond the Upper Valley to encourage investment, business creation, employee retention and workforce expansion.
• Providing educational opportunities for medtech employees in the Upper Valley.

Vision Statement: 

The Upper Valley will host a thriving medtech community where innovators can work with talented and motivated colleagues to develop new technologies and manage existing operations while supporting a workforce that appreciates the exceptional quality of life afforded residents of Vermont and New Hampshire.
