Are you ready to change your life?

PhD’s, post-docs – are you going to be an academic all your life?

Or are you ready to change the world using your science and passion?

The healthcare sector is in the process of being massively disrupted as we start to deliver exponentially improved healthcare tapping into the existing and emerging technologies.

The biomedical device sector is a critical part of this and the world needs engineers and scientists with the initiative, creativity and expertise to drive the change. But, the journey from lab to market is challenging and few scientists have been equipped with the skills and knowledge to embark on this.

Mashauri, in conjunction with Stellenbosch University, have developed an intense entrepreneurial bootcamp aimed at closing this gap

Supported and certified by Stellenbosch University

This program showed me the depth of the bio-entrepreneurship from above perspective. When I start my business, I will have a much better idea of what to dig deeper into. Good intense course, an excellent package for a beginner!
