Every year 4-6 fellows go through the program, in addition to which Biodesign runs a summer school for university students.
The only medtech program that creates new businesses from clinical immersion and direct observations of healthcare process.
After initial training, the team is immersed in a clinic for a month to observe its processes.
5 companies founded in Biodesign Finland program.
After the program, the fellows either establish their own company or apply for further funding for the research and further development of their ideas.
How does the Biodesign process progress and what do the fellows think about the program.
You get the support for your whole journey! Identifying the need, creating the idea, and making the invention, while getting advisorship from top experts in the field of medical technology.
The three key things I have received from Biodesign Finland are a huge network, new ways of doing things and new knowledge.
