Are you part of a startup, spin-out or development team looking to the transfer-technology process from industry, university, and government research areas to commercialize a technology or idea?
The process of transferring technology has opened up new fields in medicine, engineering and information systems fostering innovation. To those engaged in the tech-transfer process a rich source of developing technologies and ideas becomes available to commercialize profitable and multi-million dollar ventures.
How do startups, inside or outside of research organizations bring developing technologies to market? How do startups and investors value and assess ideas to launch new technologies? What is the process for development teams to engage in launching a venture? What examples of successfully commercialized ventures can early startups look to for ideas and guidance with challenging issues? How do you effectively assess market viability of an idea? What are the process and pitfalls of working with universities, private and governments’ research areas?
On September 20 from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m., the EntreTech Forum will delve into the process of Technology Transfer to answer these questions and more. Startups from all fields are encouraged to join us. We will discuss innovation in medical technology as a case study to illustrate the transfer process through to commercialization. The forum’s panel will draw from leaders in industry, academic and government fields. The panel’s goal is to help startups better understand, utilize and leverage their experience in commercializing the technology transfer process. Please join us at the Emerging Center at Foley Hoag the Bay Colony Corporate Center in Waltham for what will be an informative and interactive discussion.
