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.

This year the competition will be executed solely through the use of virtual collaboration platforms: Lectures will be administered as a part of the learning process for the competition through 'Zoom', as well as consultations with mentors. All of the following will be done through the 'Discord' app: teams' group collaboration on their project, requesting consultations with mentors, and any acceptance messages from the organizing team. To culminate, the final projects will be demonstrated through a unique and creative video presentation, which will be uploaded to the competition's Youtube Channel.

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.
