The Envision project
Recently the Entrepreneurship Centre ran an Envision workshop in conjunction with the Cambridge Femtech society exploring the future of women’s health. Over 35 plus delegates worked to develop a number of plausible future scenarios before using these to create a number of smaller ecosystems populated by future customers and stakeholders looking for new innovations. At the end of the day our fantastic teams identified a number of disruptive ideas that could be taken forward in the present day , all with the potential to create not just a plausible future for women’s health but a preferred one.
Thank you to Dr Mark Bloomfield of Turbulence for his great contribution to the day.
More workshops are scheduled over the next few months and if you would like to receive details or to find out more about the Envision project, please email a.davidson@jbs.cam.ac.uk.
