About the Event

“Optimising the Victorian Medtech Ecosystem: Origins of Demand & Successful Translation”

BioMelbourne Network invites you to join them for a full day BioSymposium to explore the Victorian medtech ecosystem. This event will examine the key drivers behind successful innovation, translation and commercialisation of medical devices and diagnostics in Victoria and take a deep dive into the environment and the approach being taken to further develop the ecosystem.

Further, the event will investigate origins of demand and the benefits and challenges of research-driven and market-driven technologies.

Are there other aspects of health we can consider as avenues of demand? Does all demand come from patient clinical needs? Not everyone is a patient, but this does not mean they do not have need of innovative technologies that can improve their wellbeing and quality of life.

The speakers, coming from all stages of the translational process – design, development, start-ups, large companies, patient advocacy and research – will discuss the merits of fundamental research as well as pure market demand driven models and the requirements that will ensure a valuable, proactive ecosystem. If all research was driven purely by market demand, would we miss out on so many excellent new technologies and opportunities for innovation?

Finally, the event will include the presentation of case studies.

All sessions recordings will be made available to attendees on-demand.
