Executive Summary
Scotland's upstream medical technology industry has added another string to its bow, with the launch of the IDeAS (Innovation, Development, Advice and Support) network.

An advisory panel of "professionals picked specifically for individual projects" is to meet on a quarterly basis to review progress and report back to the innovator.
