Some HOT industry sectors are experiencing a pandemic surge:  Digital Health, Edtech, Cybersecurity, IoT, Cloud Infrastructure and AV/VR Visualization.  These industry sectors have seen increases in their revenue growth rates, valuations, investments and exits.  This month’s VANTEC meeting goes behind the headlines to focus on the companies that have leveraged digitalization to create business models that not only survive but thrive!
