Agenda

Spin-offs, spin-outs, incubators, accelerators, intellectual property and commercialisation. How can we develop professionals who bridge academia, technology, and business: researchers who understand the market, engineers with commercial awareness, and entrepreneurs who know how to harness the capabilities of universities and research laboratories? Can technology entrepreneurship be taught at university, and how can projects be supported before a patent is secured, a company is established or an investor is found?
