All new line-up for the new Biomedical Innovation Fireside Chat Series!
The ITHS Technology Development Center is excited to host its second training series aimed at early-stage academic innovators who need to quickly learn the essentials of biomedical entrepreneurship. The Biomedical Innovation Fireside Chats is an annual series of free, virtual events hosted via Zoom and recorded for those who can’t attend live. In each session, a regional program leader hosts a panel of biomedical entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts. These speakers will highlight their biomedical entrepreneurial journeys and share key information with attendees.
Everyone gets excited about new biomedical innovations, but how do we make sure they fit in healthcare workflows and patient health tech systems? How do we know if the payor’s interest is aligned with the innovation user? Come to this session to align your innovation compass with the roadmap to market success.
