One of the key goals of many entrepreneurship centers is to help their faculty and students take their ideas and research and create startups companies in order to maximize the impact to society. This panel will include three of the top entrepreneurship center directors who excel at educating and supporting individuals from their university who have entrepreneurial interests and want to launch companies.
We will look at the processes and programs developed and adopted at these three universities and share ideas that be adapted at other universities to enhance their innovation, commercialization and entrepreneurship programs. We will share not only best practices and lessons learned that have worked for these universities but also discuss the learnings from obstacles that were encountered. The panel will show models for integrating curricular, co-curricular, and experiential programs.
We will also look at outcomes and measurement. What should your objectives be and how should you measure the outcomes? This will be fast-paced discussion to promote ideas that can be used at other campuses and share learnings from how to overcome the challenges along the way.
Moderated by Brad Burke, Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (GCEC)
