Medical device company to relocate operations to Nashville

Nissha Medical Technologies (NMT) officials have selected Nashville to relocate their engineering operations. NMT will create 38 new jobs and invest $4.5 million through the project with plans to share incubator space for research and development (R&D) at Vanderbilt University as its new Center of Excellence. The medical device company will continue its collaboration with EndoTheia, an endoscopic designer and developer led by Vanderbilt faculty member Bob Webster, which first announced a capital and business partnership with NMT in 2023. The two companies intend to build upon their work, enhancing the maneuverability and precision of current endoscopic tools in close cooperation with Vanderbilt teams.
