Looking for Your Next Disruptive Technology? Try Student Competitions

Quote:
National student design competitions that focus on new medical devices and technologies can provide an excellent source of intellectual property for licensing or purchase by medical device companies. Not only do they help focus student energy, enthusiasm, and talent on a real-world problem, but they also provide students with national exposure that can help when seeking employment after graduation and/or possible venture funding for promising new technologies. Competitions allow medical device companies to become familiar with the quality and commercialization potential of student design projects.
