Servier Inks $1B Deal for Intarcia’s Implantable Diabetes Device.

It’s been a big year for Intarcia Therapeutics. The Boston- and Hayward, CA-based firm raised a massive round of private financing for its experimental drug/device combo treatment for Type 2 diabetes, and then followed that up with some encouraging data in late-stage clinical trials. Now, with that product, ITCA 650, potentially just a few years from the market, Intarcia has found a large pharmaceutical company to help sell it overseas in a deal that could be worth more than $1 billion.

But rockets aren’t the only threat, or even the main threat. Experts are examining ways to find and foil enemy cyber-attacks against the country’s infrastructure, attacks that are already taking place in the tens of thousands.

Michael E. Porter: How Smart, Connected Products Are Transforming Competition.

Information technology is revolutionizing products. Once composed solely of mechanical  and electrical parts, products have become  complex systems that combine hardware, sensors, data storage, microprocessors,  software, and connectivity in myriad ways.

These “smart, connected products”—made  possible by vast improvements in processing power and device  miniaturization and by the network benefits of ubiquitous wireless  connectivity—have unleashed a new era of competition
