SUMMARY:Signal Council: When Innovation Meets Scale
DESCRIPTION:Great health innovation is being created across the West Midlands. But creating innovation and successfully scaling it are two very different things. \nSignal Council is a private\, invitation-only roundtable bringing together a small group of senior leaders from MedTech\, life sciences\, healthcare\, academia\, investment and the wider innovation ecosystem. \nConvened by Precilium and hosted at Birmingham Health Innovation Campus with PHTA\, the inaugural Council will explore one central question: \nWhat needs to be true for the West Midlands to become one of the best places in Europe to build and scale a MedTech company? \nThe conversation will examine the points where promising companies can lose momentum\, from leadership and talent to clinical evidence\, investment\, regulation\, commercialisation and NHS adoption. \nThis is not a conference or traditional panel discussion. It is a working conversation designed to surface the signals that senior leaders\, institutions and the region need to pay attention to before scale becomes the problem. \nThe discussion will operate under the *Chatham House Rule*\, allowing participants to speak candidly and focus on practical opportunities for greater collaboration across the ecosystem. \nRegister an interest here to get more information. \n

DESCRIPTION:Join us at Life Sciences Week in Birmingham for the official launch of picknmixAI\, the AI-powered marketplace connecting scientists to the right tools\, data and partners to move their work forward. \nSpend an afternoon with us hearing from pharma leaders\, therapeutic companies and academic researchers on how they’re navigating discovery\, procurement and commercialisation today\, and where the friction really sits. Then get hands-on with the picknmixAI platform in a working session: list an asset\, run a match\, compare solutions\, and see how a process that used to take 12–18 months can happen in 15 minutes. \nTalks. Real client stories. Refreshments and networking. And a proper look under the bonnet of the platform built to be Compare the Market for scientists. \nClick here or click the ‘Get More Information’ button to register an interest. \nPlease note that registration does not guarantee attendance.

SUMMARY:Got a Healthcare Problem? Here's How It Becomes a Company
DESCRIPTION: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\, watch a realistic MedTech case study come to life as our experts react in real time\, covering how the idea was identified and protected\, how the device gets classified\, and how funding is found. Walk away with a clear picture of what it actually takes to go from concept to company. No prior MedTech knowledge needed\, just curiosity about how healthcare innovation actually gets built. 🎯 Who it’s for: students\, aspiring entrepreneurs\, life science investors\, and researchers ready to commercialise their work
