“Wake County's history as a center of technology, research and healthcare makes us a perfect fit for companies engaged in advanced medical technologies,” Atkins said. “The success of companies such as SunTech Medical shows how well-suited our region is for this industry.”
“Local resources have played a large part in SunTech Medical’s success,” Andersen said. “In fact, the technology for our first product was licensed from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Since then, I don’t think there is a single aspect of our biz that hasn’t benefitted from local resources.”
