We’ve hand-picked a dynamic, cross-functional team of experts to oversee every stage of medical technology innovation, from inventor engagement through commercialization. Our team is uniquely qualified to handle each innovation across a broad spectrum of functional areas and clinical needs.
Transforming an idea into a final product takes a dedicated team of experts.
We blend talent, experience and the resources of one of the world’s leading healthcare organizations to achieve exceptional results for inventors, investors, partners and, most importantly, our patients.
At Cleveland Clinic Innovations, we’ve organized our team around these specific focus areas:

These scientists and engineers have a unique depth and breadth of expertise in medical devices, digital health, and therapeutics and diagnostics.
Our Business Development and Licensing team identifies the right strategic partners, builds those relationships and executes licensing agreements. They draw on extensive experience in marketing and business development.
Our Ventures team creates and invests in spinoff companies for technologies that have value as stand-alone ventures. They have in-depth expertise in venture capital, investing, company formation, management, governance, funding and strategic transactions.
