This session also highlights the importance of early stage programs such as Perth Biodesign in helping innovators navigate the ideation process and the community built through Biodesign Australia and a network of incubators in translating the technology to commercialisation. Key topics include: The importance of choosing the right problem to work on The 10 things you need to know about product development Start with the end in mind: commercialisation strategy is key
