Project 2: Establishing a Healthcare Technology Innovation Center at a Leading Technical University
The Challenge
A prestigious technical university in the Middle East recognized the need to bridge the gap between academic research and commercial healthcare applications. Three major venture capital firms identified an opportunity to co-invest in building an innovation ecosystem that could accelerate technology transfer.
Our Approach
We led the establishment of a healthcare technologies innovation center, designing its strategic vision, operational framework, and partnership model. The center was structured to facilitate collaboration among academic researchers, industry partners, and investors—creating an environment where breakthrough research could be translated into marketable healthcare solutions.
The Impact
The center became a regional hub for healthcare innovation, fostering meaningful partnerships between academia and industry. It provided infrastructure, expertise, and funding access to researchers and entrepreneurs, while offering venture capital partners early visibility into promising healthcare technologies emerging from the university ecosystem.
