On October 3rd, 2024, Pd-m attended Medilink Midlands’ Innovation Day, held at Coventry Building Society Arena. The event brought together a diverse group of innovators, businesses, and academics from the MedTech and life sciences sector, providing a valuable opportunity for knowledge exchange and networking.
Representing Pd-m, our team, including Andrew Davidson, Rich Shaw, and Richard Hall, exhibited at the event, connecting with familiar faces and meeting new collaborators. Our discussions centred on how Pd-m’s innovative approach helps organisations embrace sustainability in ways that drive tangible business value.
One of the highlights of the event was Rich Shaw's talk on how businesses can leverage the Net Zero challenge as an opportunity for growth. His presentation, which included a Pd-m case study that demonstrated a carbon reduction of over 26%, captured the attention of attendees eager to understand how sustainable innovation can become a competitive advantage. Rich’s insights emphasised the role design and innovation play in making sustainability a cornerstone of business strategy, aligning both environmental and commercial goals.
The day also featured an engaging exhibition, with 37 organisations showcasing the latest in life sciences and MedTech. Among those who visited our stand were several professionals, including Al Mills, Chris Dyke, Costa Philippou, Benjamin Roberts, and Dr. Ash Ghadar.
The event, expertly hosted by Sue Saville, provided invaluable networking opportunities and knowledge-sharing moments. Workshops covered critical topics for early-stage companies, such as intellectual property, contracting, and funding pathways for healthcare innovation.
For those interested in how sustainability can drive commercial value and enhance product innovation, Pd-m remains dedicated to partnering with forward-thinking organisations ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. Feel free to reach out to Rich Shaw, to discuss how Pd-m can help you turn sustainability challenges into business opportunities.
