Leaders attending the Value-Driven Engineering and U.S. Global Competitiveness Safe Haven Summit urged that the coalition be created using the semiconductor industry’s SEMATECH effort as a model.

Summit participants also urged the federal government to create legislation that reflects a commitment to biomedical device research and development.
