We are excited to host a dynamic event designed to connect nursing and healthcare professionals with the expansive resources and opportunities within UC San Diego’s startup and innovation ecosystem. This immersive 3-hour experience will spark interdisciplinary collaboration, ignite entrepreneurial thinking, and highlight UCSD’s commitment to advancing innovation—particularly in healthcare.

The event will culminate in a guided tour of our state-of-the-art four-story facility, along with visits to key partnering departments. Attendees will gain unique insights into patient care innovations, operational excellence, and collaborative pathways. This initiative aims to bridge nursing expertise with entrepreneurial opportunities, intellectual property development, and cross-sector innovation at UCSD.

Why Attend? This event is tailored to professionals eager to expand their horizons, tap into UCSD’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, and explore the transformative potential of their ideas. Whether you’re curious about intellectual property, collaboration opportunities, or starting your own business, this event offers invaluable insights and connections.
