Our story
MIME brings together Monash University expertise and capability across Medicine, Engineering, IT and Design and a range of industry and MedTech ecosystem partners to advance health technologies. Through our unique partnership with Monash Partners Health Translation Network, a partnership between leading health service, teaching and research organisations focused on innovating for better health, we work directly with clinicians to identify unmet medical needs and provide research and commercialisation support and education for promising research and researchers.
Vision
MIME’s vision is underpinned by three strategic pillars:
- Health and social impact
- Workforce capacity building
- IP discovery and translation
In achieving MIME’s vision, MIME initiates opportunities for collaboration between healthcare professionals (via direct connection with MIME’s clinical and academic partner, Monash Partners), community members, researchers, students, government and industry.
MIME does so through:
- networking and affinity events
- targeted seminars
- early stage project funding
- ongoing project support
- student research support
- developing and promoting opportunities for entrepreneurship and commercialisation training
- stakeholder and peak body engagement
- attracting funding, and
- raising awareness of funding opportunities for our partner researchers.
MIME’s novel approach brings unique value to the currently fragmented MedTech landscape and feeds into the investment pipeline.
From our establishment in 2014, MIME has delivered high impact health and MedTech products and created innovative IT solutions which have become integrated into routine healthcare around the world.
