SPARK BIE Training Course
Spark BIE Training Course
Biomedical Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Course
This intensive two-week program is designed to develop entrepreneurial talent in the biomedical field through practical, hands-on training in translational research and venture development. The program is delivered by expert instructors from SPARK Global—a worldwide initiative based at Stanford University School of Medicine—and is held annually across multiple countries, with a strong emphasis on the commercialization of drug discovery and medical technologies.
Participants from diverse professional backgrounds—including life sciences (biology, medicine, pharmacy), medical engineering, clinical practice, and pharmaceutical development—take part in entrepreneurship lectures, startup methodology workshops, and team-based simulations built around hypothetical projects. The program offers a distinctive opportunity to gain practical insights into early-stage innovation, market strategy, and the pathway from bench to business.
