The Innovation Engagement Speaker Series at Jefferson is aimed at uncovering several aspects of innovation as it is developing at Jefferson and beyond. The focus includes local, regional and national perspectives, with topics ranging from start-up challenges, innovation across healthcare, venture capital, and prototype generation. The series exposes participants to opportunities that are emerging in their respective areas. Whether a clinician, researcher, nascent inventor, entrepreneur or just a curious mind, attendees will walk away with something of value!
The 2020 series kicks off on Thursday, January 23rd and runs every Thursday from 12-1 p.m. until April 9th. Catch us in 901 Walnut Street in the main lobby. Lunch will be served.
