11:10 am - 11:40 am Lessons Learned from Israel’s Successful Start Up Culture that can Evolve the Australian Healthcare Start Up Landscape
Israel has long been renowned as a hub for hightech innovation in healthcare, with an active investment scene and spinout-friendly research centres helping to push the country’s med tech sector to new heights.

Amandeep will share key characteristics that define Israel’s successfulstart up landscape and get you asking the right questions about:

- Funding and support: Israel handpicks creative minds at a young age and provide a start up grant to support entrepreneurship; it’s a loan they aren’t expected to pay back unless they make a profit

However, the healthcare industry is fundamentally not very agile, rigid or dynamic, making it challenging for start ups to collaborate with them. This panel will explore strategies for introducing new and disruptive technology to and improving engagement with end users, including:
- Greater collaboration to align the product with expectations and get the right messaging across
- Using change management and consumer engagement tools throughout the implementation process to help them integrate new technology into their environment
- Educating clinicians to build trust and raise awareness around the benefits of the technology to help manage natural resistance to change
- Balancing the needs and expectations between start ups and larger organisations to foster a collaborative and progressive partnership
