A Spotlight on the First Expert Committee Session of the MedTech Accelerator
Since March, the MedTech Accelerator program has been welcoming pioneering startups ready to change the industry.
Our first panel of experts marked an important milestone in their journey: presenting their solution to a high-level audience and receiving constructive feedback from them.
In particular, we focused on a crucial element of any business case: the value proposition aimed at a certain customer segment. Participants were invited to get in touch with their potential customers, whether end-users or buyers, to fully understand their issues and the job-to-be-done.
Thank you for your precious time and also your dedication to the innovation community:
- Birgit Morlion, VUB Innovation manager
- Geoffrey Aerts, FARI AI Accelerator coordinator
- Yves Berquin, Matrix Requirements co-founder
- Benoit Herman, UCL CREDEM coordinator
