Sunnybrook hosts a series of lectures and workshops involving academic and industry medtech professionals, CEOs and thought-leaders with real-world advice on medtech innovation and commercialization. The lectures and workshops address the fundamental aspects from developing an idea to commercial success, enabling participants to gain knowledge of the role of intellectual property management, regulatory pathways, reimbursement mechanisms, funding models and business strategy in the successful commercialization of new medical device technologies.
