Objective

Singapore Biodesign, a National-level talent development platform and global affiliate of the renowned Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign, focuses on bringing economic benefits and healthcare value through its healthtech innovation training. The programme aims to empower the next generation of med-/healthtech innovators for Asia using the needs-centric Biodesign Process that the programme has adapted for the region. The Singapore Biodesign (SB) Innovation Fellowship Program focuses on 3 main areas - building Talent, Innovations and the Community.

 

The SB Innovation Fellowship is an intensive 6-months hands-on multidisciplinary team-based training on the entire biodesign process of health technology innovation, focused on developing new health technologies for unmet clinical needs in Asia. The Fellowship is open to driven, passionate individuals who are committed to taking on an entrepreneurial role in the Asian healthtech industry as a career post-Fellowship.
