Are you interested in how to avoid costly mistakes when starting a business?

To start a new business is a serious venture. There are many paths which you may take. Introducing a new medical product generally takes several years. There is a common phrase stating, “make your mistakes as soon as possible”. However, it would be better not to make mistakes. It is better to gain experience and knowledge based resilience to counter the challenges. Therefore, it is worthwhile gaining as much knowledge as possible from the beginning to avoid costly mistakes.

You may make fast progress and get some private investors quite early: this is one way how you may lose control of your potential innovation. You may not carefully secure your fair share from the outset: this can bind your economic future already at the early phases of the development. If you do not protect yourself against excessive losses in the start, you may lose your shirt.

In this SPARK EUROPE WEBINAR, Prof. Raimo Sepponen will discuss with us the need:

  • to understand the business environment and logic
  • to have a good strategy and corresponding operational plan
  • to do your homework before you do your move
