One Reason Why 2010 Is Going to Be a Very Good Year
-Norbert Sparrow
This is the last time you will read my missive here. In fact, this is the last time you will see this magazine. Ever. And here’s why that’s good news: In January 2010, we will introduce a brand new publication ... with a distinguished past. European Medical Device Technology (EMDT) will combine the succinct, targeted sourcing information of European Medical Device Manufacturer (EMDM) with the in-depth technical articles of its long-standing sister publication Medical Device Technology (MDT) in one comprehensive magazine for the pan-European device industry.
