Welcome to March. As we begin Women's History Month, we not only have exciting news about a new role for NEMIC's own Maey Petrie, we also have updates about some of our startups that are either by women or for women.

With a focus on sustainability as well as seamless integration into existing restroom infrastructure, Egal is striving to ensure no woman is ever caught without essential menstruation products.

As we embark on the next phase of NEMIC's journey, the appointment of Maey as Executive Director marks a pivotal moment in propelling our organization toward fulfilling its distinctive mission.

In the local and national business landscape, where small businesses and startups carve out their niche, there exists a need to level the playing field. Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) certifications bolster this mission and offer a pathway for small and diverse businesses to access opportunities historically out of reach.

The candid conversation around finances resonated with attendees, making these often taboo topics more approachable.

It's no secret that MedTech startups face some of the highest failure rates across all industries. NEMIC co-founder Aidan Petrie delves into why this is the case.

In the blink of an eye, January is gone, and February is here. From a great Lunch + Learn with our #EMPOWER cohort to our latest Startup Spotlight featuring Revive Therapeutic Services - here's your chance to catch up with everything NEMIC.

A dynamic group of 12 innovators had lunch, pitched their projects, and participated in a Q+A session with Olinda Urizar-Mendez from Commerce RI.

Abby and Akos have worked to procure a dynamic, diverse team of therapists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and psychiatrists, all committed to providing high-quality, individualized mental health care to patients.

January is always an exciting time of year. As a new year begins, we can't help but think of the promise it holds and the endless possibilities that are ahead. But before we forge onward into 2024, we wanted to share the NEMIC 2023 Impact Report and celebrate all we've accomplished together.

While we work to chart the course for years of sustainable future growth, it's also important to look back and reflect on all that we were able to accomplish during 2023. Together with our partners, we had our best year yet - working with hundreds of startups, entrepreneurs, and inventors. We engaged with more global companies than ever, setting the groundwork for bolstering Rhode Island as a Center of Excellence in Health Technologies.

This year, we are delighted to welcome twenty bright and diverse individuals to the program.

Founded by former VP of Strategic Development at Ximedica, CEO Melissa Bowley first had the idea for Flourish Care upon the birth of her first son. She quickly realized that she needed more support and self-care and was struggling with little guidance on how to take care of herself, her postpartum body, or her new baby.

Can you believe it's December already? As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season begins, we wanted to catch you up on the many exciting developments here at NEMIC.

Aidan Petrie was honored to be invited to participate in two key industry events last month: the 2023 Beahrs Surgical Innovation Summit, in Rochester, MN; as well as the 2023 Northern New England MedTech Conference, in Hannover, NH .
