The 8th Massachusetts Life Sciences Innovation (MALSI) Day is the biggest day for life sciences startups and innovation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This is a high-energy, hands-on event which brings together scientific leaders and business experts to mingle with scientists, post-docs, professors, entrepreneurs, innovators, and venture capitalists.

Our theme this year is “Weathering Healthcare Climate Change” – the environment in which new inventions are commercialized and start-ups are created is constantly and radically changing so how do you make sure that your commercialization plan is robust enough to weather all of the changes that may impact your plan.  Changes in healthcare policy, the economy, available financing, regulatory approvals, and reimbursement all impact a business as it grows.  With so many unknowns, how does the entrepreneur take a best guess at the environment they will be operating in when their new product is ready for market in five, ten or fifteen years.  During 2015’s Mass Life Sciences Innovation Day, our keynotes and panels we will explore the Healthcare Climate Changes that are likely to impact technology development and commercialization and how you can respond.
