MEDTECH ACCELERATORS

Our MedTech accelerator program empowers our collegiate and high school participants to take their scientific knowledge beyond the textbooks and into the real world. We guide them to utilize their education and exposure to develop innovative medical devices, diagnostics, or digital health solutions to address unmet medical needs and improve patient care. We equip them with the skills to navigate the regulatory hurdles, secure funding, and develop a go-to-market strategy for their MedTech inventions, transforming them from aspiring minds to future leaders in medical technology.
