"The CEO Investor Forum @ The MedTech Conference brought together companies, institutional investors, and professional services firms committed to reorienting our capital markets toward the long-term," said Daryl Brewster, CEO, CECP. "The forum serves as a bridge between today's corporate strategy and discounted, risk-adjusted future cash flows further down the road than next quarter."
"By 2030, we intend to touch the lives of 3 billion people, one in every three people on the planet and nearly 1 billion more than we impact today," said Robert B. Ford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Abbott. "Our plan has one overarching imperative - to design access and affordability into our products from the start to get our products to the most people possible. We don't view sustainability as a check box exercise. The key question is how we can we use our products to help society deal with the issues they are going to face and that includes a clear plan with clear targets."
"We are standing at the epicenter of a changing world," said Geoff Martha, Chairman and CEO of Medtronic. "Rooted in an enduring mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life, Medtronic is combining the application of biomedical engineering with the power of data science to exponentially expand the impact of healthcare technology. We see tremendous growth potential for years to come, as we create ecosystems of care that deliver better patient outcomes, at scale."
"The amount of opportunity to create better patient care is staggering," said Gary S. Guthart, Chief Executive Officer, Intuitive Surgical. "Today, because of prior investments in Electronic Medical Records (EMR), there is a huge amount of data that can be analyzed to design systems and integrated product lines where people are in the continuum. We expect huge changes in the next two decades."
