EDC is proud to spotlight a little-known Upstate New York success story with global impact

The NanoKnife® System, developed and produced by AngioDynamics in Glens Falls, has been named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025. This recognition reflects not only breakthrough medical technology, but the kind of technology-driven economic evolution that EDC Warren County has been intentionally working to support.
AngioDynamics’ journey is a powerful example of how advanced manufacturers can successfully pivot. The company has strategically retooled its business from legacy, commodity-style medical products such as catheters and tubing to high-value, technology-driven innovation like NanoKnife. Today, that shift is revolutionizing men’s health care by giving urologists a precise, non-thermal option for prostate treatment that significantly reduces long-term complications historically associated with surgery.The establishment of CPT Code I reimbursement further accelerates adoption, positioning this Glens Falls-made technology for expanded clinical use and global impact.
This story also reinforces key findings from the Glens Falls MSA economic study, which highlights the region’s growing competitiveness in advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and innovation-based industries. Critical to that competitiveness is robust broadband infrastructure, which enables precision manufacturing, clinical data exchange, R&D collaboration, and global market access. EDC’s continued focus on expanding fiber and digital capacity across the MSA directly supports companies like AngioDynamics as they scale next-generation technologies.
What’s happening in Glens Falls is not accidental. It’s the result of intentional investment in people, infrastructure, and innovation. A product made in Upstate New York is now improving health outcomes for men around the world, and it’s a clear example of how regional economic strategy translates into real-world impact.
