"Entrepreneurship in healthtech is a big deal in Boston, a city known for living on the forefront of science, being home to both Kendall Square and MIT, its world famous medical institutions in Harvard Medical School and Mass General Hospital, and its entrepreneurial spirit having been the nest for startups like ZipCar and TripAdvisor. With a city known for its scientific discoveries, and innovative technologies, it's no surprise that Boston is host to one of the first conferences focused on bringing healthcare and technology together," said Anders Johnson, Community Manager for the HealthTech Venture Network.
