Medtronic made 'smartest companies' list

Its work on ever-smaller med-tech devices landed Medtronic Inc. on MIT Technology Review magazine's "50 Smartest Companies" list last year. MIT's No. 1 pick was Illumnia, the San Diego-based gene sequencing company. Medtronic ranked No. 37, just behind fitness-tracking firm Jawbone. Medtronic's spinal division is headquartered in Memphis. MIT credited Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) for its efforts to "shrink life-saving implantable medical devices," including a pacemaker weighing just 2 grams.
