T2MED

T2MED competition is an enterprise project held by the Rappaport Faculty of Medicine of the Technion, which encourages entrepreneurship and innovation in the medical field. The competition creates collaborations between countless students from a variety of faculties across the Technion, and from institutions all around the world, giving them the opportunity to think up and execute cutting edge ideas to advance the field of Medicine.

The simple answer is: Yes. In all competitions in previous years students from a variety of disciplines have worked together in mixed groups. Students of electrical engineering and mechanical engineering worked alongside students in biomedical engineering, architecture, computer science, chemistry, psychology and medicine. As long as you have a passion for technology and medical initiatives, your contribution to the conference will be meaningful.

The competition will be held in person and according to corona guidelines. We will meet at the Faculty of Medicine at the Technion, get to know the people, put together the groups and start developing the idea together with the mentors, and it's all going to be face-to-face to maximize and enrich the experience of the hackathon. To enable all this, the competition will be under the "green pass" procedures. If the corona situation does not allow frontal presence, we will move to a remote work format and update accordingly.

The T2MED conference is based on the global 3DS program, which provides fertile ground for the development of start-ups. To date, dozens of start-up companies have been raised, raising millions of dollars in the framework of 3DS. On average, every 3DS conference yielded more than one new start-up. The success of the T2MED 3DS conference proved itself in the past years, winning groups have won or qualified for the final national entrepreneurial competition BizTEC.

In the worst-case scenario, you are going to work with brilliant people from a variety of fields to create a medical start-up. This is the first step where you can learn a lot about the world of medical entrepreneurship. The conference is a wonderful opportunity to develop relationships with greenhouses, entrepreneurs and people with experience in product development. In the best case scenario, you might end up as the founders of an innovative medical start-up.
