CIE@IIIT-H in association with Medtech consortium and Novartis hosted Medtech hackathon from 29 June – 1 July in Novartis, Hyderabad. It was a 54-hour event designed to provide superior experiential education for technical and non-technical entrepreneurs. Beginning with Friday night pitches and continuing through brainstorming, business plan development, and basic prototype creation, Medtech Hackathon culminated on Sunday night with demos and presentations. Participants created working startups during the event and were able to collaborate with like-minded individuals outside of their daily networks. All the teams got an opportunity to hear talks by industry leaders and received valuable feedback from local entrepreneurs.
