Our MRI Startup Grows Up: QED and HealthCare in 2014 – Hiroyuki Fujita

Date: Thu. April 24th, 2014, 4:15 pm-5:15 pm
Location: Rockefeller 301

Dr. Fujita’s talk will focus on his MRI company and give a “State of QED” address, and how its accomplishments plus smart business practices such as investing heavily in human and R & D have helped him build a company that is profitable and providing well-paying jobs in an advanced manufacturing environment. He will explain that innovation is the cornerstones of success, while reviewing the RF principles of MRI. QED was an early adapter to new technology, such as additive manufacturing, which QED refers to as “Direct Digital Manufacturing” or “DDM” which has helped the company remain an industry leader when presented with technological challenges and opportunities that had to be met in order to stay competitive. Perhaps the most important message will be that when his philosophy of “doing the right thing as a human being” is understood and carried out throughout the company, all other aspects fall into place.
