Yesterday, we hosted our Investment, Innovation, and Internationalisation 1-Day Workshop in collaboration with the Academic Health Science Network. The event aimed to assist digital and life science organisations in securing funding and exploring international growth opportunities.
AHSNs are a collaborative network in England that drives healthcare innovation and improved patient outcomes. They bring together healthcare providers, academics, businesses, and stakeholders to address challenges, adopt innovation, and enhance best practices in various healthcare areas.
Our event kicked off with an Innovation Ignition Icebreaker, setting the tone for an engaging day. Participants then delved into crafting compelling elevator pitches using their value propositions, a critical skill for securing funding. The Rapid Discovery Session followed, where participants honed their "Ask" and value proposition. A lively panel session with interactive Q&A provided invaluable insights.
Lunch was a working session, fostering collaborative discussions. In the afternoon, participants had the privilege of engaging with Raman Sehgal, founder of ramarketing, during the "Growing Global" session. Raman is an entrepreneur who founded several niche companies, including a multimillion-dollar international marketing agency specializing in the global life science space. He shares his knowledge worldwide as a keynote speaker, podcaster, blogger, Forbes Agency Council member, and guest university lecturer.
The day continued with exploring the art of storytelling and pitching using the Vision Canvas framework. A brief break offered a chance to recharge before elevator pitch presentations, followed by a session review and outlining the next steps.
