GLASSBORO, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 25, 2025--
Two transformative healthcare announcements this week mark a new era for New Jersey’s innovation economy—with Garden State Venture Partners (GSVP) emerging as a key catalyst behind both.
1. MedTech Strategic Innovation Centers Backed by GSVP & NJEDA
On July 21, NJEDA and Rowan University unveiled a major initiative to launch a Strategic Innovation Center, with locations in Camden and Mullica Hill, supporting early-stage medical technology companies with critical lab space, mentorship, and commercialization resources. GSVP, a New Jersey-based venture firm committed to fueling statewide innovation, is helping to make this possible through venture capital funding for early-stage medtech companies.
2. A First-of-Its-Kind Maternal and Infant Health Innovation Center in Trenton
Just one day later, Governor Murphy and First Lady Tammy Murphy broke ground on a Trenton-based center dedicated to maternal and infant health equity. The MedTech Strategic Innovation Center will also have a presence at the Maternal and Infant Health Innovation Center, which will focus on medical technologies that address racial disparities in care. Once again, GSVP will play a central role in helping bridge the gap between public health needs and private-sector innovation by accelerating promising, equity-driven health tech ventures.
Together, these initiatives represent over $100 million in coordinated investment, a model of public-private partnership, and a strategic bet on New Jersey as the next national hub for health tech and equity-focused innovation. GSVP’s leadership and capital are essential to making that vision real.
