BioSig Technologies Opens Business Office in Norwalk, CT
New Location to Serve as the Company’s East Coast Business and Operations Hub
Santa Monica, CA, Oct. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSGM), a medical device company developing a proprietary biomedical signal processing platform designed to address an unmet technology need for the $4.6 billion electrophysiology (EP) marketplace, today announced that the Company opened a new office in Norwalk, Connecticut.
The new office will complement the Company’s headquarters in Los Angeles, CA and administration and finance office in Austin, TX. Norwalk office becomes the Company’s first location on the East Coast and will serve as the commercialization, sales support, investor relations and business development location.
Despite being the third smallest state, Connecticut has the highest per-capita income in the United States1. Due to the state’s historically attractive business climate and its close proximity to New York, NY and Boston, MA, Connecticut had 19 companies on Fortune 500 list in 2016, including Aetna and Xerox2. The state was also home to one of the most successful medical technology companies, US Surgical Corporation.
“Norwalk, CT offers us a strategic base on the East Coast, which will provide key support for both our capital formation and business and clinical development. Norwalk’s proximity to JFK and New York City is also a big plus for our global shareholder base. As we progress towards first installations of our PURE EP(tm) System in some of the busiest medical centers in the country, we are confident that our new business hub will deliver significant value in one of the key locations for medical technology,” commented Kenneth L. Londoner, Chairman and CEO of BioSig Technologies, Inc.
BioSig received FDA 510(k) clearance for its first product, PURE EP(tm) System on August 8, 2018. The Company began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Markets on September 21, 2018 under the ticker symbol BSGM.
