In his lecture “How to Build a Billion Dollar Company” Raphael Nave illustrates the process of innovation and entrepreneurship as well as interactions with the eco-system that have lead others into billion dollar territory based on the example of the medical technology company Given Imaging, the presentation will start with the ‘unmet need’ in the healthcare domain, and continue with the ‘meeting of the minds’ of physician and engineer that lead to inventions and the interesting road to success. Given Imaging is now the world leader in capsule endoscopy and was sold to Medtronic for $1 billion.
