Israeli Medical Device Start-Ups To Make Michigan Roadshow Oct. 16

GRAND RAPIDS ? Israeli medical device start-ups will be traveling to Michigan on October 16 looking for local partners, university collaborators and private funding.

The Trendlines Group in partnership with OurCrowd will be heading back to Michigan for a day-long road show that starts in Grand Rapids and finishes in Ann Arbor.

?It?s an opportunity for investors in Michigan to see some early-stage technology that has been vetted by venture capitalists abroad,? said David Weaver, president of Great Lakes Angels and a board member of the Michigan Israel Business Bridge. ?These are hand-picked companies.?

They include:

CoreBone: a natural bone graft material for enhanced strength and healing in orthopedic and dental procedures

Gordian Surgical: a unique 2-in-1 device that opens and closes incisions during laparoscopic surgery, saving physician time and preventing complications

SensoGo: a portable, easy-to-use system for walking pattern analysis in diagnosing orthopedic, sports medicine, and geriatrics (elderly falling risk) disorders

SiL Vascular: a next-generation balloon catheter for targeted treatments and improved outcomes of blocked arteries in the limbs

Accredited investors and strategic partners are invited to hear presentations, meet the entrepreneurs and to learn more about Trendlines, OurCrowd and the Israel start-up nation story.

Interested parties need to register by October 11.
