A SAFE HAVEN for Novumed Spotlight Novumed Spotlight Novumed Spotlight The Benefit of Expansion into Medical Technology financial crisis 2008 2009 2010 2011 Segment comparison at Agilent 2008 - 2011, in US$ M. Source: Agilent annual reports, Novumed Life Science Consulting In 1999, several business units were spun off from global computer technology provider HewlettPackard to form Agilent, with approx. US$ 8 billion in revenues. This spin-off marked the largest initial public offering in the history of Silicon Valley. Initially, Agilent’s revenues came predominantly from the sales of its electronic test & measurement and semiconductor business units.

Despite this high regard, management decided not to focus solely on its core sectors, by creating a life sciences business unit in 2000. A wise decision in retrospect. The life sciences and chemical analysis units now collectively generate half of the company’s sales, and allowed Agilent to remain profitable despite the collapse of the electronic measurement unit’s profits during the financial crisis. As one of many examples, this illustrates the growing importance of the medtech segment, which is gaining attention of industry groups from various sectors. What factors make medical technology so attractive? Which industries...
