What we'd like to do
Considering the necessity of extending the international industry-academic collaboration, MDIC and other GAIA members invite key-opinion leaders, renowned professors, medical doctors, researchers and students from developing countries to this 4-day international conference in Tainan, Taiwan.
In this conference , the participants will join multidisciplinary training courses and learned about Medical Technology innovation practice through seminars and workshops on healthcare technology design, regulation, commercialization, entrepreneurship and industrial perspectives. They will be working in teams to solve medical unmet clinical needs and healthcare issues by brainstorming and combining their expertise in various fields regarding healthcare development. Some academic visits to the National Cheng Kung University Hospital (NCKUH), National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), and Southern Taiwan Medical Device Industry Cluster (STMDIC) will also be arranged.
Besides, the conference also creates a collaborative forum by bringing together young researchers, educators and physicians from around the world. Accordingly, the GAIA will be a powerful platform for all universities and enterprises of prosperous economies to extend their international business marketplace, and also an important channel in the cross-culture potential trade cooperation.
