Utah’s BioHive contributes to the state’s national-leading export growth rate and is ready to support international expansion into Dubai, the Middle East, and worldwide.
“We have attracted world-class scientists, researchers and engineers to Utah for the last 65 years,” shared Katelin Roberts, interim Director of BioHive and General Partner for MedMountain Ventures. “Utahns have changed millions of lives through better patient outcomes with life-saving catheters, advancements in surgical imaging, and now we are leveraging new technologies for novel drug discovery and therapeutics.”
“International relations are an important part of Utah’s culture, and this is a unique opportunity for these companies to showcase innovative products worldwide and create global relationships,” added Hemmert.
“The state’s presence at the Arab Health trade show, one of the first of its size to be held in-person this year, solidifies Utah’s place as an emerging healthcare innovation hub on the world stage,” shared Miles Hansen, president and CEO of World Trade Center Utah (WTC Utah). “The participating Utah companies not only make Utah look good, but they are also prospecting potential partners, winning contacts, and generating sales they would not have access to otherwise.”
Utah and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have a strong trade relationship. The UAE is the largest market for U.S. product exports in the Middle East with the healthcare sector as one of the six pillars of its national agenda.
