Subscription Partner Program
Innovation Lab's Subscription Partner Program
Build or Partner?
Healthcare Innovation Is No Longer An Option. It's a Necessity.
Executives across the country believe innovation and growth are a top priority. The question becomes: how does an organization ramp up their innovation efforts?
That’s where we can help.
Innovation Lab simplifies and speeds up the complex process of transforming great ideas into marketed products that directly and positively impact lives. Through our Subscription Partner program, what used to be exclusively offered through an equity investment is now readily available to healthcare organizations across the country.
Why partner with us?
Organizations that want to capitalize on internal innovations have two choices. Build or partner?
The slow, painful way: Recruit, hire and train an internal team to launch your innovation team and build industry connections. This often takes years, with staff coming and going and projects often being abandoned along the way.
The smart way: Become a subscription partner of Innovation Lab. You’ll gain instant access to our powerful, proven innovation engine and a mature ecosystem of partners. Based on real cost models, executives find that partnering with the Lab saves 30%, on average, compared to creating an in-house program from scratch.
Here's what we do for you
- Create your organization’s uniquely branded innovation portal where your employees can submit their ideas
- Provide tools to engage and guide staff in innovation activities and initiatives
- Furnish a clinical and market intelligence team to assess ideas and provide recommendations on commercial viability and paths to market
- Assess and develop intellectual property policy and strategies
- Guide product development, in partnership with industry sponsors and/or nonprofit health systems
- Get your product to market!
