Taking Health Products to Market: From Idea to Real-World Impact + Healthtech Ecosystem Social

WAHM, ISL Talent and VWV are shaking up the usual Healthtech Ecosystem Social format... Join us for a candid conversation about what it actually takes to take a health or medtech product to market. The panel, chaired by WAHM co-founder, Paul Forster, brings together founders who have navigated very different routes from idea to commercialisation: Josh Steer, Founder & CEO, Radii Devices Jenny Bailey Cooper, Co-foudner & CEO FerryX / FerroCalm Sarah Bolt, Founder & CEO Forth Prof. John Terry, Co-founder & MD Neuronostics We'll get beyond the polished success stories to talk about the setbacks and breakthroughs involved in building something people will actually use — and pay for. Expect conversation around product-market fit, regulation, evidence, funding, routes to market, working with the NHS versus going direct-to-consumer, building customer trust, and knowing when to adapt the plan. There'll be ample opportunity during the Q&A for other founders and people working across the health innovation ecosystem to dig into these insights further. == After the panel discussion concludes you're invited to stick around for The West of England's Healthtech Ecosystem Social. A networking evening for the whole healthtech ecosystem - we welcome founders, investors, industry stakeholders, academic partners and those looking to connect with healthtech businesses and their supporters in the West of England. Expect to meet startup founders and CEOs, collaborators and stakeholders from local networks, investors, researchers, and idea stage product developers. Hosted by Western Advocates for Health and Medtechs (WAHM), ISL Talent and VWV. NB: If you're a health or medtech founder, check out WAHM's Healthtech Roundtable at 14:30 on the same day, where Paul and Josh at WAHM are bringing together founders in the sector to discuss regulatory challenges, funding changes, NHS partnerships versus US commercialisation, and more.
