PGU Medtec
Our pledge
Over a period of four years, I explored various advanced technologies in orthopedic surgery and human rehabilitation, during which I tested and worked on several ideas to improve traumatology and orthopedic technology standards. Here I found comfort in an old idea I had during my second year of university. This inspired me to create my own start-up company, and in the future I will regret that I didn’t work on my start-up during this time. Fortunately, the EIT Health MiTH Master’s program taught me effective ways to start a medical technology company. Although reality is light years away from school, the fundamentals were here and the lessons were powerful.
Today, I’m connected to the EIT Health community and I want to continue to build a strong link between PGU Medtec and Europe. However, I’ve noticed that few of my colleagues are pursuing entrepreneurship. On the other hand, I actively promote my course and have established the PGU MEDTEC Elite Executive Program within my company. Our program promotes excellence, knowledge, and curiosity in advanced technologies for ultra-mobility, and applicants are selected primarily based on their motivation to reach the top through improving their skills and gaining professional experience in research and development, opening up better opportunities that I either had or would have liked to have had when I was in their shoes.
