Tuesday 18th March
12:00-13:00
Join us for the next session in the Living Laboratory’s webinar series as we sit down with Russell Overend, COO of MR CoilTech, to explore their approach to MedTech commercialisation.
MR CoilTech, a leader in advanced medical imaging technology, has defied industry norms as one of the few companies to successfully commercialise its medical technology without relying on external investment. In this webinar, Russell will share the strategies that enabled the company to grow independently, bypassing traditional funding hurdles.
With extensive experience in multiple MedTech startups, Russell will also compare MR CoilTech’s unique journey to the typical investment-heavy model, providing valuable insights for healthcare innovators and entrepreneurs.
