The Program was first run in 2014 and has been critical in developing the innovation ecosystem in NSW. The quality of the training is such that the Program has been awarded 12 credit points towards MBA Programs at UNSW and University of Wollongong. The newly expanded program will provide learning opportunities for up to 200 NSW-based medical device technologists, academics, and clinicians each year over the next four years.

Graduates of Medical Device Commercialisation Training Program have launched companies, engaged industry partners and raised more than $9 million in grants and private investment, creating job opportunities in Australia and abroad. The program has been particularly successful at encouraging women as entrepreneurs.
