Trickle-Up Healthcare Innovation: Lessons from the developing world

January 9, 2017
5:30-7:30 pm
Spyder Trap
Trickle-up or “jugaad” innovation are terms referring to an innovation seen first, or likely to be used first, in the developing world before spreading to the industrialized world. Jugaad innovation is a mindset and methodology used by individual innovators and companies alike to find high value, low cost and accessible solutions in healthcare and beyond.
Many individuals and organizations increasingly see the ingenuity of innovations born in resource-constrained environments for their ability to meet needs, produce at a low cost, and scale quickly.
This panel of speakers from international health organizations and business units and research/consulting organizations will discuss how they exchange ideas with, and learn from, their partners in economically developing countries and communities – and why incorporating this knowledge is more important than ever before.

The goal of this event is to collectively map out Minnesota’s healthcare innovation ecosystem in order to reduce the barriers to starting, building, or scaling a healthcare startup or innovative project. We want to make strategic connections for you, regardless of your stage. Together, we will create a living, breathing document that will be accessible to all!
The event will include story tellers, match-made networking, and activities that will demonstrate the breadth of our community, and identify real gaps and opportunities for improvement.
