NEW CASTLE — Without disruption, systems will not change. That was the message offered in breakout sessions and workshops focused on innovation in health care and education during the second semi-annual “Disruptivate!” conference at the Wentworth by the Sea Hotel on Tuesday.
About 200 people involved in the fields of health care and education participated in the daylong conference, and learned about new innovations that could change health-care delivery and education delivery systems in the near future.
Twelve innovators presented their technologies during the “Disruptivate! Goes Vertical” conference organized by the New Hampshire — Innovation Commercialization Center.
A project of the NH Innovation Commercialization Center, Disruptivate!™ is a series of events and a network that bring innovators, entrepreneurs, creatives, technologists, angel investors, venture capitalists, and changemakers together.
