A successful Healthcare Company is the sum of successful teamwork with various resources, disciplines, and skills, focused on developing a product at the right time with the right business plan. And, of course, fully understood by the entire team. Many businesses have failed because of a mistaken focus on solely the technology and the research, while efforts need to focus on the product or service and the business of bringing it to the market. Obviously, the business must be innovation-driven, with science and technology creating added value that will disrupt the traditional markets.
Ziv has brought dozens of novel medical technologies to the market over 25 years spanning several leading Medical laser companies including, Laser Industries, ESC (known as Lumenis) and the latest, Alma Laser (acquired for $240M during 2013). Ziv will be speaking about his experience and his advice to the next generation of bio-entrepreneurs.
