Dear innovator in healthcare,
Have you ever felt your research could do more than end up in a publication?
What if you had the tools to turn your insights into a solution used by care providers and patients?
Then don’t miss the Kick-off of Need2MedTech — the innovation program that helps you do exactly that.
🚀 WHAT IS NEED2MEDTECH?
Need2MedTech is a brand-new innovation program at Ghent University. It guides you from clinical needs to technological solutions — and potentially, a future spin-off. Through a clinical immersion, hands-on workshops and business & regulatory coaching you’ll learn to turn scientific insights into something tangible, valuable, and impactful.
(PhD students: this course is part of the Doctoral Schools program)
