innovosource is partnering with Philips Image Guided Therapy Devices to identify partnership opportunities related to three specific technical challenges.
The goal is to connect motivated, industry partners with existing partnership nodes at research institutions to engage and initiate long-lasting relationships. Positive outcomes could result in company-funded POC projects, licensing, startup investment, and/or research partnerships.
This process is open and free to participate to all research institution partnership nodes (tech commercialization, gap funds/accelerators, corporate relations, research centers, faculty).
BARDA is interested in learning more about the current landscape and technologies and companies in the needle-less delivery space. The delivery platforms should be compatible with biologic payloads (e. g. vaccines, monoclonal antibodies) that utilize the following alternative routes of administration: - Oral - Buccal/Sublingual - Inhalation (e. g. aerosolization) Other platforms
Technologies NOT of interest: - Needle-based (e.g. auto injectors) - Microneedle systems (e. g. patches) - Implant-based
Particular interest in plug-and-play platforms that have potential to easily allow for the use of a wide variety of vaccines or therapeutics with the platform.
