It's also quickly b ing a big selling point in recruiting clients and new employees, said David Mounts, Inmar's chief executive."We love being together in one space rather than spread out in three places," Mounts said."Frankly, having the workforces separated was slowing us down. Just in the two weeks that everyone has been together, the level of speed and collaboration has accelerated."The location,World of Warcraft US - Sky Golem along with all the momentum occurring downtown, is attracting not only young professionals and millennials, but skilled employees across all ages," Mounts said.Winston-Salem business leaders have pointed to Inmar's downtown move as a tipping point and game changer for diversifying the research park beyond biotechnology and life sciences. Inmar has been made eligible for $7.3 million in performance-based local and state incentives.
Mounts and Eric Tomlinson, president of the research park, repeatedly cited the Inmar move as a prime example of the emergence of the local digital health sector.So much so that Inmar and the Division of Public Health for the Wake Forest School of Health announced Monday they already have formed the first of what could be several collaborative initiatives. The project involves using Inmar's digital analytics to help the division more quickly locate and enroll patients for its clinical trials.World of Warcraft US - Mekgineer\'s Chopper Tomlinson said the initiative could reduce the enrollment process from as much as two years to as little as two to three months, "which can be a significant cost savings for the clinical trial and hopefully bringing treatments to the patients quicker."The opportunities for digital health "are unprecedented, and investors and health care officials are awakening to that," Mounts said.
Mounts said that the initiative shows that "we can help deliver innovation through technology that improves the lives of people in our munity and across the globe."Health-care products and services represent about 25 percent of Inmar's business.Even though Inmar signed a 15-year lease on the headquarters, Mounts and other city officials stressed the munity must follow through on creating a local pipeline of STEM science, technology, engineering and mathematics students for future replenishing of the Inmar workforce.
