Accelerating medical technology innovation

Our dedicated team of Technology Innovation Managers will work in partnership with your Technology Transfer Offices to assist you to accelerate your medical technology development towards commercialisation.

Each project we develop in partnership draws on a range of resources, tools and perspectives led by our project delivery team.  We will connect complementary expertise from across the region and beyond to design, develop and deliver innovative medical technologies. We provide:

  • Dedicated support from experienced, sector specific Technology Innovation Managers
  • Assessment of market and regulatory requirements
  • Development of detailed project plans that consider all of the factors that could impair successful development of the technology
  • Identifying and supporting targeted funding applications to progress innovation
  • Support for due diligence, intellectual property strategy and commercial exploitation
  • Opportunities for clinical engagement to identify real need for new technologies (including facilitated workshops)
  • Access to our networks through attendance, exhibition at, and sponsorship of Medical Technologies events
  • Promotion and profiling of medical technologies research in the region
