Innovation for Health

Innovation for Health is a 3-day event held as part of the IEEE entrepreneurship week 2021 bringing together policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs and citizens to debate and shape the future of research and innovation in Europe and beyond. Research and innovation will be the key to ensure that the transition to a post-corona society is sustainable, inclusive and resilient. This year's format will provide an opportunity to connect, take stock of research and innovative achievements in the global response to the pandemic and build on the EU’s response: worldwide coordination of excellent science for global health, social and economic recovery. Our event bases on biotechnology and includes speeches and presentations about latest researches in this field and innovative startups. Additionally, a competition will be organized in which students will be asked to provide different solutions to a topic related to the field. Participants will be formed into teams and assigned a clinical need, then work with faculty, advisors, and mentors to design a solution and build a business plan around their solution. Teams will receive didactic instruction, mentoring, and one-on-one advising throughout the program. To end the program, teams will pitch their solutions to a group of judges. Our Goals: 1. Collaboration and unity between the students and the young professionals. 2. Join in multiple activities with members from all of the countries. 3. Strengthen the networking and communication of the participants. 4. Network IEEE Student Members and YPs. 5. Give the opportunity to the attendees to share their ideas and vision with renowned guests and IEEE Experts. 6.
