We all benefit from medical innovation. With a team of physicians, researchers, entrepreneurs and inventors all behind cutting-edge products & therapies, medical innovations also have the potential to produce new companies and jobs.
But how does the research, the new discoveries and therapeutics, get out of the lab and available to the public? Cleveland Clinic Innovations (CCI), started in 2000, answers this question every day.
"We started with just a couple of people," said Chris Coburn, executive director of Cleveland Clinic Innovations, "and now we have grown to 65 staff members who help Cleveland Clinic researchers and physicians take their discoveries to a higher level."
CCI acts as a business incubator for approximately 20 companies. "The state of Ohio has awarded us $150+ million for research... We now have 55 spin-off companies since we started" Read more.
