2016 has already been a busy year for mergers and acquisitions. Will the robust M&A activity in the medtech industry continue?

M&A in recent years has dramatically transformed the medtech industry, and executives have continued to sign deals, with several transactions worth hundreds of millions and the Abbott-St. Jude Medical megamerger already announced this year.

Get inspired to innovate in medtech at the MD&M East Conference, June 14-16, in New York City.
