New Zealand’s HealthTech sector is continuing to grow with the development of new start-ups each year. However, knowing when to take the first step to commercialise your technology can be difficult.
Join us for an in-depth panel discussion to hear from three key NZ entrepreneurs on how they took an idea to a sustainable, established company, the challenges they faced, the support available, and much more. You will also have the opportunity to ask our panellists questions.
This will be followed up with an open-mike session on Tuesday 22 February 12 pm as an open discussion for all, focusing on some of the key points brought up during the panel session.
