What We Do

At Fogarty Innovation, we advance human health worldwide by forging stronger alliances between innovators, industry and government, thus creating a powerful engine for the invention, development and deployment of new health technologies into the care pathway.

We combine our passion for innovation with world-class expertise, resources and leadership to bring new technologies to life. The collaborative ecosystem we have created encourages disruptive thinking to improve the lives of patients around the world and assist the providers who care for them.

We educate innovators on practical, real-world topics and create value for healthcare providers, patients and investors by translating novel concepts into bold solutions for unmet clinical needs. We seek to elevate the medtech ecosystem through advocacy efforts and alliances with groups that can help move the industry’s life-enhancing work forward.
