Workshops for Researchers: Research Mindset vs. Entrepreneurial Mindset

For MedTech or Biotech related researchers (PhD/Postdoc level) who want to turn their research into potential innovation.

Our 1.5‑day, on‑site, hands‑on workshop supports researchers in exploring whether their project could evolve into a start‑up and how to navigate the early innovation pathway in the MedTech field. Participants learn to shift between a research mindset and an entrepreneurial mindset while working directly with examples from their own MedTech projects.

What you will explore

  • Clinical need assessment - identify the real‑world problem your innovation aims to solve
  • Minimal viable product - brainstorm what an early, testable prototype could look like
  • Unique value proposition - define why your solution stands out
  • Business Model Canvas - map out how your MedTech idea could create value
  • Regulatory and quality basics - gain first insights into MDR, quality management, and early compliance considerations

Through guided exercises, peer exchange, and practical tools, researchers experience a structured and inspiring pathway from idea to innovation - tailored specifically to MedTech.

Format & Pricing

  • Duration: 1.5 days, on‑site, hands‑on
