📌Webinar 1: Trends in University-based Innovation & Entrepreneurship – A View From Beyond Silicon Valley
The webinar will offer a perspective on how to begin developing a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation within a university setting, with ideas for programs and activities specifically aimed at institutions that are not in one of the world’s well-known startup ecosystems. Mr. Kaszubowski will discuss strategies for promoting student and faculty entrepreneurship, technology transfer, industry collaboration, and engagement in regional economic development in ways relevant to a university’s evolving research agenda, limited research budgets, uncertain and inconsistent faculty interest, diverse student population, and unique geography.
