Innovation Bioscience:
Innovation Bioscience is a Munevar & Associates, Inc. training and incubation initiative focused on bridging the gap between biomedical research and healthcare need. We are launching a novel initiative called the Solve-It, Open Innovation Challenge. The Solve-It challenge harnesses the collective problem-solving capabilities of life science, business, and technology professionals at all levels toward creating solutions to some of the most pressing needs in healthcare.


The Solve-It challenge is a weekend-long competition beginning on Friday and concluding on Sunday. Teams will work together throughout the weekend to prepare their final solution submission and “pitch it”. On Sunday, teams will present their solution to a panel of industry experts. Winners will be selected based on various criteria such as technical innovation and feasibility, implementation, market adoption, and commercialization potential among others. Throughout the weekend there will be great opportunities for networking with light food and refreshments provided. Below is a highlight of the weekend’s events:
