Description:
Innovators are constantly discovering promising new chemical technologies and entrepreneurs are becoming empowered and encouraged to bring them to market. This is imperative as any anticipated or quantified benefit associated with a particular technology will never realize its potential while it remains a lab-scale research project. It is only through their development, scale-up and commercial deployment that these innovations can deliver on their promise.
Chemistry-based innovators are driven to see their discoveries impact the world. However, most of them, particularly those that work in academia, don’t understand how to meaningfully go about it. This workshop will provide an illuminating overview of the opportunities and pathways that exist for the budding entrepreneur to commercialize technologies in the chemistry space. The four presenters, representing different points along the commercialization continuum, will examine problem-solving strategies for start-ups as well as resources that are available to support them.
NGen Industry Mixer
On Monday, Aug. 15, 5:00-7:00 PM ET, join the industry program participants in Gather.Town for a social mixer so you can network and continue the conversations from the workshop.
