When working with health tech innovation, the road from having an idea to succeed with a final product, on the market, can be long and winding. In this session we invite entrepreneurs, medical staff and others to share from their experiences.
The arrangement is especially relevant for start-up companies, and innovation projects related to Medtech, – all medical-technical devices used to prevent and treat diseases.
The seminar is a first of several seminars, focusing on themes related to the upcoming Health Incubator in Bergen – a collaboration between UiB, Helse Bergen and VIS.
