Sparking New Ideas and Opportunities
Silicon Valley is home to some of the world’s biggest technology companies, leading academic institutions and thousands of start-ups. The Gore Innovation Center places us in the middle of it all — a space where we collaborate, explore and spark opportunities with fellow innovators. From our recent Digital Health Innovation Day to forums and make-a-thons, we partner to solve challenges and bring new ideas to life.

A Special July 4 Anniversary
Three years ago, aerial photographer Iwan van der Schoor hit the water chest-first when his parachute failed. Paramedics rushed him to physicians, who got him to the specialty cardiology team that repaired his ruptured aorta with a Gore device. Shortly after, a coordinated medical team returned him to his family.

Every day, our products perform in challenging environments where the cost of failure is high. We're proud to deliver solutions that improve lives.

The “Hole” Truth About Strokes with Unknown Causes 
One-third of ischemic strokes have unknown causes; 40-50% of people who experience these strokes have a hole in their heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). With strong data on the connection between PFO and stroke from the Gore REDUCE Clinical Study and the FDA approval of its GORE® CARDIOFORM Septal Occluder for PFO closure, Gore is helping patients to significantly reduce the risk of experiencing another stroke.

A Continued Commitment to Improving Life
It’s a milestone year for Gore! Sixty years have passed since our founders celebrated New Year’s Day — and their 23rd wedding anniversary — by starting a new business venture in the basement of their home to explore opportunities for fluorocarbon polymers. Today, Associates around the world strive to build on their legacy and deliver innovations that improve lives and industries.
