Through candid discussions and real-world insights, participants will gain actionable insights and informed knowledge of what success looks like on both sides of the partnership table. Expect a “no gloss” conversation about what works, what doesn’t and what every Australian company should know before trying to scale into the US. We’ll cover topics such as partnering with US hospitals, ROI evaluation, contracting dynamics and navigating corporate venture relationships.
We’ll also explore practical approaches to navigating the US patent system, protecting IP and securing patents internationally, and aligning IP strategy with commercial partnerships when scaling in the US.
