Jersey has a great future ahead as an incubator for MedTech projects, according to a senior executive from Samsung who was in the Island for Health Technology Day last week.
Gregg Hardie, Samsung’s Head of Public Sector, says that after a day of talking with the tech community and representatives from the Health and Social Services department, he is convinced that there are many exciting projects going on, and real prospects for the Island.
He said: “What I saw made me certain that the capabilities exist to make this incubator a great success. I believe that for real success in this area the message should be sent out that this is the place for MedTech development and that all the support and access to resources is on the Island. If everyone focuses on this goal then it has a great chance to realise its full potential.
“I look forward to my next visit to Jersey and working in partnership over the coming months and years to support the excellent work that has already begun. There are so many exciting projects to get involved in.
“I believe Samsung can enhance by bringing our experiences from around the world. I look forward to seeing the many people I met again soon. In summary, I was hugely impressed with the desire of transform the delivery of IT and be a leading light in the innovative new ways to move to the emerging digital ways to deliver government services.”
