Are you a researcher seeking to learn about MedTech commercialisation? UTS has partnered with Cicada Innovations to deliver two, half-day morning workshops at UTS on 18-19 November 2024.
Join the commercialisation boot camp
Covering Intellectual Property (IP), market analysis, business planning and funding opportunities, these MedTech workshops are designed to help bridge the gap between academia and industry.
Come along to discover the techniques and methods needed to analyse your research area’s market opportunities and assess its value proposition.
What are the objectives of the MedTech workshops?
The MedTech bootcamp is aimed at helping researchers commercialise research by validating their ideas and how to assess Technology Readiness Levels.
The workshops will benefit those interested in learning about MedTech commercialisation, from how to identify market opportunities to assessing the value proposition of research innovation.
Participate to:
- gain an understanding of the critical elements of a viable business model
- identify what unmet needs your research could address
- inform your future research
- advance the Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) of your innovations.
Make your research go further by learning how to recognise the commercial potential of your work.
Who should attend the MedTech bootcamp?
The free bootcamp is led by Neil Radford, the Translation and Commercialisation Manager (MedTech) from the Research Office. We welcome UTS staff with the intent or interest to commercialise medical diagnostic, therapeutic and RNA vaccine technologies. Researchers affiliated to Centenary and Woolcock institutes and local health districts are also welcome to attend.

- IP Disclosure: It is preferred that individuals or teams (maximum of two) disclose relevant intellectual property (but not essential) to the UTS Research Translation Team using the UTS IP Disclosure Form in Research Master.
- Focus on Translation: The researcher's IP should aim to translate research outcomes into impactful applications rather than conducting further research.
