Description

There is a plethora of research on university commercialization and technology transfer. However, there is less of a discussion on the skillset and technical capabilities that allow a scientist to become an entrepreneur. In this webinar we will focus on these skills and programs that induce entrepreneurship. Moving from the scientist’s lab, to entrepreneurship courses, to forming a startup, to growing the firm within an incubator or accelerator.

This event is co-sponsored by the Innovation Policy Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, University of Toronto and 4POINT0 Partnership for the Organisation of Innovation and New Technologies.
