Are you a clinician, researcher or early-stage innovator with an idea that could change lives, but unsure how to take it beyond the lab?
Join ACMD and CHICC on Thursday 19 March for an engaging session on translating research concepts and health innovations into tangible outcomes for patients and healthcare systems.
Bringing together leaders from clinical research, translation, commercialisation and entrepreneurship, this event will explore why commercialising matters and how it underpins the real-world impact of meaningful discoveries.
Through expert insights and practical case studies, speakers will share lessons learned from their own commercialisation journeys, including:
- Why addressing unmet clinical needs is the starting point for innovation
- How translation enables research and innovation to reach patients and health services
- The mindset required for successful commercialisation
- What works (and what doesn’t) when moving from idea to impact.
Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the pathway from research and early-stage innovation to real-world application, recognising that commercialisation isn’t just about business, but about ensuring breakthroughs reach the people and systems they were designed to help.
You’ll leave with practical takeaways, a fresh perspective and renewed inspiration to progress your own innovation journey.
This ACMD Link event is delivered in collaboration with CHICC
