In recent decades, innovation in fields such as medicine, biology, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare has experienced rapid and steady growth. However, there is a shortage of professionals capable of leading this progress by integrating scientific expertise, strategic vision, and managerial skills to effectively address the challenges and seize the unique opportunities in these areas.
Structure and Educational Objectives
Key topics for managing innovation will be explored, including intellectual property, leadership, sector regulations, and organizational dynamics. These subjects will be covered through both theoretical instruction and applied scenarios in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, digital technologies, and food/nutraceuticals. The program also includes a 300-hour internship.
