Executive Summary
Sony has made its maiden medtech acquisition with the purchase of Micronics, a venture-backed IVD company based in Redmond, Washington. The electronics giant said the move was to help accelerate its own research and development, particularly in the area of point-of-care diagnostics which is a specialty of Micronics, and to accelerate commercialisation of products resulting from these efforts.
