From Bench to Bedside: Navigating MedTech Product Development with NAMSA

Time: 8 a.m.–noon
Location: CED — Center for Entrepreneurial Development, Morrisville

Developing a medical device or healthcare technology requires more than a promising idea. Entrepreneurs must also understand regulatory requirements, testing procedures, commercialization strategies and the steps required to bring a product to market.

During this educational event, industry experts from NAMSA will provide guidance on navigating the MedTech product-development process. The session is designed to help entrepreneurs move healthcare innovations from early research and development toward practical clinical and commercial applications.

Topics are expected to include:

• Medical-device product development
• Regulatory pathways
• Product testing and validation
• Healthcare technology commercialization
• Planning for a successful market launch

The program may be especially valuable for MedTech founders, researchers, healthcare innovators and startup teams developing regulated products.
