BioTech NZ: Gut Instinct: The opportunities and challenges of commercialising Kiwi science
Description
BioTechNZ, Aroa Biosurgery and Tech Futures Lab have joined forces to bring you this interactive Auckland networking event.
Come listen to a panel of Kiwi entrepreneurs who are working on and with the gut. That’s not the only thing they have in common – they have all taken an idea and turned it into a commercial product.
The Aroa story: Dr Brian Ward, CEO of Aroa Biosurgery, will give you some insights into his outstanding journey, from conceiving an idea in the lunchroom of a Hawke’s Bay veterinary clinic to cracking the US medical devices market, launching on the ASX, and beyond.
