Executing on sales is never a straightforward process, but the complex nature of healthtech supply chains can make health a tougher sector to succeed in than most.

This full-day workshop is recommended for healthtech companies that have done the “Introduction to Knowing your Customer and your Market” workshop mentioned above - but this is not a requirement for attendance.
