The Innovation Jam is a “Shark Tank” style event to which all Duke faculty, staff, trainees and students are invited to apply and/or attend. Applicants should submit pragmatic health innovations with an immediate application at Duke and/or commercial potential.
Proposed ideas can be a concept or a simple prototype, but must have a clear business and value proposition.
Duke leaders have pledged to invest actual dollars in order to earn a coveted place at the Innovation Jam Investors’ Table.
No more than six innovative and well-developed ideas will be selected to pitch to our esteemed panel of Duke Investors on October 17.
