Medical devices are everywhere: from the thermometer on your shelf to a life-saving implant, a diagnostic app, or a surgical robot. The industry is valued at over $550 billion today and is projected to reach $800 billion by 2030. So, you’ve spotted a gap, sketched an idea, maybe even built a prototype, but how do you actually turn that into something real?
In this interactive session, we’ll walk through what it actually takes to go from concept to company: where good medical device ideas come from, how to validate the clinical need, how devices get classified and regulated, how to protect your idea with the right IP strategy, and how funding works. Then it’s your turn: get into groups, sketch out your own device idea, and present it back for feedback.
No prior MedTech knowledge needed, just curiosity about how healthcare innovation actually gets built.
Who it’s for: students, aspiring entrepreneurs, junior life science investors, and curious person.
