Commercial Translation: Entering the NZ Market

Following on from last month's 'Getting Technology into Hospitals' event, let's take a deeper dive to understand how we can get technologies into the hands of the patient and clinician.

With clinical trials and validation complete, the focus now turns to procurement, purchasing and distributors. The pathway for market access in NZ is not obvious and is the topic of many questions for health technology start-ups. Join us for this in-depth discussion with experts in the field to clarify the process and to have the opportunity to ask your key questions.

This virtual event is available nationwide, however, we will also be hosting a viewing hub at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute for extra group discussions. If you are interested, please also email ella.dixon@auckland.ac.nz to ensure we have enough space.

This will be followed up with an open-mike session on the 26th July, 12 pm - 1 pm, as an open discussion around some of the points brought up during the speaker event and to provide the opportunity for us to learn from each other too.
