About MDG Boston

We are a volunteer run, not-for-profit organization serving the medtech ecosystem since 2001

Our Story

The Medical Development Group was established in 2001 as a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit by four professionals in the medical device industry who sought to create a network of contacts and specialized resources for more effectively advancing their medical device projects. In 2013, MDG became ‘MDG Boston’ to highlight its direct connection with Boston’s world leading ecosystem of life science research and medical technology development.

Boston is the home of globally-recognized academic institutions, hospitals, medical device companies, and biotech/pharma R&D facilities. In addition, there are many technology-focused, philanthropically-endowed institutes. Boston area life science organizations continue to create extraordinary advances in healthcare outcomes and through MDG Boston, we share these advances with you and our global audience.
