Entrepreneurial Capabilities for Scientists - Engage 2022

Academic scientists play a central role in the production and translation of breakthrough scientific inventions through the formation of university spin-offs. Well-endowed science-based ventures, attracting resources and advancing novel capabilities, can rapidly respond to pressing global health, climate, and humanitarian crises. Academic scientists who develop entrepreneurial capabilities can make early, strategic, path dependent decisions to create well-endowed science-based ventures. Join this talk to learn about five entrepreneurial capabilities you can develop which will increase the likelihood of successful commercialization of your research:

• technology-market matching
• claiming and protecting your invention
• attracting and mentoring your founding team
• strategic timing
• changing traditional risk-reward patterns
