MedTech Actuator Innovators Bootcamp (Perth)

Innovators Bootcamp

A full-day workshop on how to address clinical needs with innovation and startups

In partnership with the Telethon Kids Institute and Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, MedTech Actuator will be delivering a full-day workshop on how to address clinical needs with innovation and startups. The MedTech Actuator is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that curates an ecosystem of MedTech, HealthTech and BioTech innovation and investment across the Asia Pacific region. 

We'll be focusing on the early stages of innovation, including ideating and validating problems and solutions. Our speakers will guide you through the process and provide insights into the Health Innovation and Commercialisation Pathways that will help accelerate your success. There will be opportunities to develop, present and receive feedback on your commercialisation from mentors and peers that could form the foundation for future collaborations.

We understand that as innovators of early-stage technologies, clinicians and researchers have challenging demands and limited time. This workshop will give you the tools and strategies you need to make the most impactful decisions and solve problems in the most efficient way possible.
