This informal networking event, offers you the chance to scope out potential opportunities for entering the lucrative US market. The City of Mentor is a powerhouse of innovation, being home to more than 300 manufacturers with particular strengths in advanced manufacturing, aerospace, polymer, and biomedical industry clusters. This setting will provide a forum to discuss the prospects for investment in the City of Mentor, as well as establishing connections between UK healthcare, aerospace, and precision manufacturing businesses and appropriate partners and organisations in the US.
Uvamed, a Medilink member company, were introduced to our City of Mentor partners during their first visit in 2018 and have been working with them ever since. Keith Fawdington, Uvamed’s Director, writes:
“Uvamed has long held ambitions to expand into the US. Our products fulfil a real need in the American healthcare market and Medilink Midlands, working in collaboration with the City of Mentor and Uvamed, have helped us towards that ambition. Since attending the first Medilink Midlands trade mission in October 2018, Uvamed has worked with Medilink and the City of Mentor to establish US offices and make in-roads into America.”
