Medical technology and equipment manufacturer Medtronic Inc. has received the Marco Polo award for the company's role in the economic and societal development of China. The award is China's highest honor given to a business. Medtronic's Chairman and CEO, William George, accepted the award on behalf of the company at a ceremony in Beijing recently. The Marco Polo Award is given to individuals and organizations that support the work of The China Project, a cooperative effort by the Volunteers of America, the U.S./China Foundation for International Exchanges, and the State Bureau of Foreign Experts Affairs of the People's Republic of China.
