Ideas In Practice Symposium
The world of MedTech is global, complex, competitive, regulated and dynamic. It is not just about having the most brilliant technology; success in this world means being strategic and understanding the people element in technological innovation – both suppliers and users. Leeds University Business School would like to invite you to join them for a one-day Symposium to discuss:
- The strategic challenges of managing innovation in MedTech
- How to manage the innovation ecosystem
- How regulation affects innovation strategies, including emergent technologies where regulation is under-developed
- Digital innovation and technological/industrial convergence
This event is supported by EU-funded MSCA-EID COINS (agreement number 675866).
