Innovating for Impact: Growing Your Ideas to Improving Health
👩🏽⚕️ EVENT OVERVIEW
Seeing unmet health or medical challenges in your work or community and wondering “there must be a better way”? Or have an idea on how to solve an unmet need, but aren’t sure of the next step?
UNSW Founders is bringing its health entrepreneurship expertise to Regional NSW for a free, in-person workshop in Wagga Wagga.
This session explores how health challenges - often first identified by people working across the health system - can be transformed into practical, scalable innovations. You’ll gain insight into Australia’s health innovation landscape, learn from real-world examples, explore early pathways to funding, programs and support and learn tactical steps towards bringing your health innovation to life.
You don’t need a startup idea - just curiosity, lived or professional experience in health and an interest in creating impact.
