Moving your Tech out of Academia: Resources, Funding, Lessons Learned
At this lunch and learn, hear from and interact with innovators and entrepreneurial ecosystem members about how to move your technology out of academia, with a focus on SBIR/STTR opportunities.
You’ll hear directly from founders of UW-Madison spinouts in biotechnology, medical technology software, energy/cleantech, and semiconductor electronics. All participated in UW-Madison, Center for Technology Commercialization and other programs, and went on to earn SBIR/STTR grants and other external funding, from accelerator to angel to venture.
These expert panels are designed for graduate students, postdocs, and other UW-Madison and alumni researchers and tech innovators will highlight key resources, best practices and what innovators, who've been there before, wish they would have known. If you are pursuing research that you are hoping to commercialize, you don’t want to miss this interactive panel!
