About this Event
This lecture series addresses the multifaceted journey of transforming biomedical discoveries into viable commercial ventures. We will dissect the critical business decisions that govern this process, focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities at the intersection of science and entrepreneurship. The course provides a comprehensive framework for translating a novel concept in areas such as AI diagnostics, gene therapy, or regenerative medicine into a compelling, market-ready solution.
Based on recent market analysis, the global medical devices market was valued at around $640 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to over $1 trillion by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 6.5%. Regions like North America currently hold a significant market share, but the Asia-Pacific region, particularly India, is emerging as a major growth driver. India's medtech sector, for example, is expected to outpace global growth, with projections to reach $50 billion by 2030.
