Abstract
The nature of collaborations between industry, academic, and government entities are discussed by the authors who together have significant experience in all three of these sectors. This article examines the intricacies and coordination needed between different stakeholder environments toward successful medical device innovation. The value of different types of collaboration models is illustrated through examples and the author's perspectives on current opportunities, challenges, and future outlook.
