Austin-the Best Place for Biotechnology Innovation

Description:

To a large degree, healthcare is broken. We become broken, then a patient, then, if lucky, we are fixed. The break-fix mentality of healthcare is ripe for disruption. I often hear ideas of from innovators and entrepreneurs on how to make the system better—through new technologies and innovations. However, many never make it to the market. Why is this? More importantly, how do we fix this? Austin is globally known as an entrepreneurial hub in technology and software. Medtech is quickly following. We are currently the third fastest growing hub in the US. This panel will discuss some of the things we are doing, individually and institutionally, to lower the barrier to bio/health tech innovation moving to the market. Together, we can change the world.
