BioMedTech

BioMedTech is a biomedical technology innovation program launched by Tel Aviv University (TAU) to increase biomedical technological breakthrough entrepreneurship projects for clinically unmet needs. The program reflects TAU's vision of strengthening academic excellence and expanding interdisciplinary applied research in technological medical device innovations. The BioMedTech program provides outstanding TAU undergraduate students from all disciplines with mentorship by faculty members, physicians, and industry leaders with experience in commercializing medical technologies. Students participating in the BioMedTech program will have access to entrepreneurship courses provided by the faculty of management at TAU. During the process, clinicians who face a particular clinical need on a daily basis describe the problem to a group of multidisciplinary TAU students, who jointly with their academic mentors brainstorm ideas for innovative technologies to solve the unmet need. The concepts raised by the students are checked for intellectual properties, engineering availabilities, and business and marketing potential. The top breakthrough technology is then brought to the program committee in order to request funding.

BioMedTech is based in Tel Aviv - University, Tel Aviv, Israel.
