The Global Center for Medical Innovation (GCMI) is a new, non-profit innovation center that will accelerate the development and commercialization of next-generation medical devices and medical technology. The first of its kind in the Southeast, GCMI will include a comprehensive medical device prototyping center that will open its doors in early 2012.
GCMI is a partnership of four of Georgia’s leading research and healthcare organizations: the Georgia Institute of Technology, Saint Joseph’s Translational Research Institute (SJTRI), Piedmont Healthcare and the Georgia Research Alliance. The Center will bring together the core members of the medical device community, including universities, research centers and clinicians, established drug and device companies, investors and early-stage companies.
GCMI's new, state-of-the art location will be located in midtown Atlanta near Georgia Tech and SJTRI -- an area thriving with technological innovation and entrepreneurship. This location provides easy access to the city, the Southeast and -- with the world's busiest airport only 20 minutes away -- the nation and the world.
