Here's what's on tap this week at TechSpring 

Who knew that the Pioneer Valley was so full of resources and co-working vibrancy? Until I had the opportunity to get out of the office and hop on the Economic Development Council of Western MA’s (EDC) Innovation Tour bus, I didn't. With four stops planned for the day, TechSpring was more than excited to be one of them. The others included, UMass Amherst, Brick CoWorkShop, and Valley Venture Mentors. Here’s all the information I collected along the way to share. You can also view more pictures on Twitter: #413InnovationTour or @TechSpringMA.  

There is much to be gained from sharing office space with great minds that are striving to make a difference in a particular field. Think of yourself in busy traffic, surrounded by healthcare workers and technologists, and how your chance for collisions, conversations, and collaboration will multiply. Now imagine yourself running into the many consultants, entrepreneurs, start-ups and technology superstars, like our sponsors, who weave through the intersections (i.e. halls) on a regular basis. This doesn’t just have to be your imagination, because it’s all happening at TechSpring, and you can be a part of it!

Here's what is happening this week at the intersection of technology and healthcare.

WELCOME TO TECHSPRING!

We are so pleased to have launched TechSpring, the technology innovation center of Baystate Health. TechSpring sits squarely at the intersection between healthcare delivery and innovative technology. By bringing together innovators with providers of healthcare, we will unleash the creative minds on both sides to solve problems.

We Are All Patients.

We can also help those who are changing healthcare today for a better tomorrow.

"Success in the new healthcare environment will require inside knowledge of the complexities of the fragmented healthcare system, technological prowess, and strong ties to consumers. Because few organizations possess all these characteristics, both incumbents and entrants may find that partnering with one another, and taking advantage of one another’s capabilities, is the best way to navigate the market."

The innovation ecosystem is evolving in Springfield, and TechSpring, the Baystate Health Technology Innovation Center, is excited to be a part of it!   

TechSpring has partnered with Valley Venture Mentors (VVM) to create a formal healthcare venture acceleration program. With your help, wecan provide innovators with expertise, insights and connections that will help shape the future of medicine, all while developing the economy here in Springfield!
