OIV’s Hunter-Syed on corporate venture capital’s growing influence; Bell previews SRS annual meeting

In this week’s DeviceTalks Weekly Podcast, we dig deeper into the worlds of Corporate Venture Capital and Surgical Robotics.

In our keynote interviews, Host Tom Salemi speaks with Abby Hunter-Syed, director of Olympus Innovation Ventures (OIV), the corporate arm of Olympus, the medical giant. Hunter-Syed explains how her own entrepreneurial experience led her to discover the joy of supporting start-ups. In this interview she explains why she favors open communication and how entrepreneurs can best approach OIV for capital.

Before that conversation, we visit with Surgical Robotics Expert Steve Bell, an MedTech veteran who now advised start-ups. We preview the upcoming annual meeting of the Society of Surgical Robotics, which promises to unveil many interesting new surgical robotics systems.
