Promoting Innovation in medical technology

NEOvations Bench to Bedside (NEOvations B2B) is Northeast Ohio Medical
University’s new medical innovation and entrepreneurship program in collaboration with other Ohio universities including The University of Akron School of Law, Cleveland State University, and Kent State University. Modeled after a world-renowned program at the University of Utah, NEOvations B2B provides the perfect conduit for participants to bring innovative medical solutions from conception to commercialization.

The program provides a stipend for prototype development and introduces interdisciplinary student teams to a broad range of professionals and consultants who teach them to critically assess the problem, design and create a proof of concept prototype, evaluate the legal landscape, establish a regulatory pathway, protect their intellectual property, and develop a go-to-market strategy for commercialization.
