The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and the El Pomar Institute for Innovation and Commercialization will conduct a one-day biomedical technology entrepreneurship workshop Feb. 27 as part of Entrepreneurship Week.
The workshop will be from 8 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. and will help participants gain insight into the processes necessary for taking medical technology from design to implementation and commercialization. This introduction to biomedical technology entrepreneurship will position faculty members, graduate students, and community participants to make contributions to existing medical technology companies or to biomedical technology start-up firms.
At the workshop participants will explore biomedical technology entrepreneurship and its relationship to the biomedical industry, discover how to turn an innovative product idea into a new biomedical technology venture, hear presentations from local innovators and entrepreneurs in the biomedical technology field and meet people who can help turn ideas into a reality.
