GIB perspective
GIB VIEW · Interpretation and execution perspective
From GIB’s perspective, ACRM is better suited to prioritising clinical validation and research collaboration than collecting broad sales leads. Target conditions, outcomes and partner roles should be defined first.
Academic interest and purchasing intent are different. Demand signals from the event require follow-up validation across regulation, procurement, reimbursement and implementation budgets.
