Medical Device Opportunity Challenge
We're excited to announce the inaugural Medical Device Operations Challenge (MDOC) for the local medical device industry, organized by ZeroTo510 powered by Epicenter Memphis, and the Alchemist Accelerator.
The challenge kicks off with a Problem Discovery session to identify the most pressing real-world challenges for operations within the medical device industry (e.g. supply chain, warehousing, shipping, returns, etc.). Attendees will prioritize these challenges, and the top issues will be presented to innovative startups and entrepreneurs nationwide for potential solutions.
Last year's challenge for the logistics industry was a smashing success with over 70 submissions from startups responding to 15 problems suggested by corporate leaders.
Our goal is to have the same impact for our local medical device industry in Memphis. We’re looking for Medical Device industry leaders that oversee Operations-related functions (e.g. Warehousing, Purchasing, Supply Chain, Shipping, Returns) and are interested in improving efficiency and resolving key challenges within their department(s).
