About the Event

BioMelbourne Network is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation in Victoria.
In running this event we will conservatively follow State Government health and safety guidelines.

BioMelbourne Network invites you to join us for a full day BioSymposium sponsored by the State Government of Victoria, CSIRO, SeerPharma Pty Ltd, Prime Accounting and Business Advisory Pty Ltd and Fundsquire 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.

Our 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.

Who should attend?

Business executives (SME & MNC), start-ups, entrepreneurs, investors, product developers, clinicians, researchers, and industry experts across medical technology, ICT, engineering, design, manufacturing and healthtech innovation.
