Pandemic and digital health account for 62% of med-tech deals in 2020

Sep. 30, 2020
By Karen Carey

As of late September, BioWorld has tracked 1,012 deals this year – including licensings, collaborations and joint ventures – valued at $3.67 billion, as well as 272 completed mergers and acquisitions valued at $8.53 billion.
