About MESH Builders™

New from the MESH Incubator™

Team-based, intensive workshops for Healthcare Innovators

Team-based, intensive
workshops for Healthcare
Innovators

MESH Builders™, a new course from the Mass General Brigham MESH Incubator™ - the creator of MESH Core™, MGB's official healthcare innovation bootcamp - is an immersive, limited-capacity, focused workshop series designed for healthcare innovators. This includes clinicians, startup founders, inventors, executives and researchers alike. Each session convenes multidisciplinary teams in breakout workshops to confront real-world challenges—topics cover building your own startup, understanding the design thinking in healthcare, leveraging big data to solve critical needs, refining your pitch for maximum impact, navigating real-world intellectual property challenges, and more.

Guided by domain experts from the MESH faculty at Mass General Brigham, this 1.5 day hands-on program will arm new and seasoned innovators with marketable skills to fast-track their own innovations towards patient impact. In this unqiue hybrid format, this limited capacity course will join innovators from Mass General Brigham, Harvard Medical School executive education, and the public for cross-disciplinary networking. All participants receive a MESH certificate at completion, and one year access to the private Innovation MESH Network, where you can join over 3,000 Mass General Brigham and Harvard leaders, faculty, clinicians, and MESH Alumni to network and view additional recorded materials like the MGB MESH Innovation Grand Rounds series.

By blending the rigor of MESH's renowned global bootcamps with the agility of hands-on teamwork, MESH Builders™ equips participants to anticipate the needs of future health systems and accelerate ideas from concept to clinical impact.
