NSSN and Genesys Electronics || Product development 101 - how to turn your lab prototype into a commercially ready device (WSU)

  • Western Sydney University Westmead Innovation Quarter Building U, Level 4 Seminar Room (WE-U.4.03) Westmead NSW 2145 Australia (map)

Are you a researcher or a founder who is interested in translating your initial lab concept or research, into a proof of concept or prototype that meets user needs, may unlock some investment, or enable a pathway to a product developed ready for manufacture?

Genesys Electronics Design in conjunction with The NSW Smart Sensing Network will provide an educational seminar lead by Genesys Co-CEO George Bou-Rizk and NSSN Electronics Engineer Kimi Izzo.

Join us for a one hour seminar accompanied by a panel session with industry representatives where you will be be guided through the key aspects of the product development process, that will allow you turn your research into something tangible that can deliver value to your business and user base. Learn how the best in the industry are able to translate an initial concept, into a commercial device through a structured and multistage prototyping process, standard to the stringent medical device industry - where learnings are translatable across multiple fields.

The one hour seminar will touch on:

  • Developing design inputs - going from a initial concept to a structured engineering specification document - also useful for writing impactful proposals!

  • The stages to prototyping - and how each one delivers value, from asserting the business proposition and getting investment to manufacturability

  • The general process that a design house follows to bring ideas to life, and the kind of things you need to be aware of to guarantee your best chance of success - pertinent to lead researchers/CI's and founders

Followed by a one hour panel

  • Where key representatives speak from their own experiences during this process (panellists to be announced closer to the date)

To be concluded by a catered lunch and networking session until close at 1:30pm

You will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout each part of the seminar through slido checkpoints and on the floor.
