All Faculty, under graduates and post graduates of Medical Colleges and Engineering Colleges of BGS Global
Problem providers can post umet needs
Solution providers can team up to work to overcome these
Interested Ideators can join the team.
Inter speciality Interaction is a process by which needs are identified by concerned caregivers and teams are formed with solution providers and ideators from among all participating institutions to arrive at possible innovative solutions.
An event where the aforementioned teams present their ideas and solutions to a group of experts for validation suggestions and judging regarding suitability for onward development and prizes.
Under the guidance of C-CAMP and its designated experts, the university will commence a programme of training in Medical and allied specialities and Engineering, STEM, and other specialities, to jointly ideate and develop innovative projects. The ideas generated in the Inter speciality Interaction will be encouraged through this programme through the various stages of the Benchtop model, Design Interaction, Design for Test, and even fund-raising opportunities. Team dynamics will be learnt experientially.
Education of STEM Professionals on Entrepreneurship by a Biomedical Innovations Certificate Course The course is designed to be held in 3 stages over a total of 6 months. Each stage will be conducted over 2 months, on weekends
An event whereby the product prototype is demonstrated and a pitch is made for the validation of taking this idea via an entrepreneurial route to the market. This will be vetted by judges from Yenepoya institutions, C-CAMP and invited experts.
