Vicarious Surgical (NYSE: RBOT, RBOT WS) announces it has won the MedTech Powerhouse Company of the Year Award at the 2021 NEVY Awards, hosted by the New England Venture Capital Association (NEVCA). The theme this year highlighted the “heroes” of New England’s innovation ecosystem—the entrepreneurs and investors committed to leveraging science and technology for a better tomorrow.

“It is an honor to be named MedTech Powerhouse Company of the Year by the NEVYs,” said Adam Sachs, CEO of Vicarious Surgical. “We remain committed to leading surgical robotics innovation with technology designed to provide unprecedented visualization, access, and ease of use to surgeons who share our desire to improve patient lives by developing and launching next generation medical technologies. We look forward to continuing to grow our footprint in Massachusetts and supporting the region as a hotbed for medical device innovation.”

The NEVYs, presented by Dell Technologies, honor both early- and late-stage companies as well as the venture capitalists who support them, and cover a broad spectrum of the region’s thriving industry clusters. The academies are broken out across MedTech, Technology, Life Sciences, Healthcare, and Climate Tech.

“It was wonderful to celebrate our NEVYs award ceremony both in-person and virtually to honor the heroic companies and investors working to fortify the innovation in New England and beyond,” said NEVCA President, Jody Rose. “Those in our venture community are building a brighter and bolder future for all of us.”
