02 Business Ideas & Pitch Day
Following our first class on January 13th, the students have been divided into 5 groups. Each group was allocated 1 or 2 mentors and together they have been working on a business idea that answers a medical question.
On March 24th, these 5 groups will present their business ideas to a panel of judges at the BMJ. Each team will give a 20 min presentation, including Q&A, and then will go through 15 min of judging time.
The ideas will be judged on the viability of the product, how well it answers the problem stated, and the use of tech / digital innovation.
