Professor Joshua Ho is the Co-Director of the Master of Biomedical Innovation Programme, Co-Director of Centre for Health AI Research and Translation (CHART), and Assistant Dean (Innovation and Technology Transfer), HKUMed.

A biomedical innovator must be able to communicate well with different stakeholders: investors, clients, collaborators, employees, doctors, patients, and the general public. How can we speak with confidence to effectively convey the value of your technology, your company, and yourself? In this workshop, I will share hands-on tips on how to speak effectively and professionally in a variety of settings that are common for a start-up founder or translational biomedical scientist.
