In 2014 Canadian Trade Commissioners set up a mission to foster collaborative development between Switzerland and Canada. Elias Gedamu, CEO of H3ALTH TECHNOLOGIES INC. (HT INC.) would meet this call to action personally.
Flying to Basel, Switzerland to represent the company, Gedamu would go on to have success in the fast-paced business to business conference, garnering the interest and support of several European companies in the health technologies industry.
“This was probably one of the first international meetings that we did as a company,” says Gedamu, “anytime you’re trying to internationalize or grow a company, it’s always nice to get your name out there, see what kind of tech is growing and different.”
During his time in Basel, Gedamu would also be invited to tour the Medtronic production facility. Seeing an opportunity to further develop his understanding of the manufacturing process Gedamu would gladly accept saying, “It was quite interesting to see the complexities of getting a medical device into market.”
