Established firms and emerging companies must continuously innovate, adopt new technologies and develop new business strategies if they are to prosper, and Universities nationally are helping them pursue the competitive advantage they need. In regions like the Research Triangle, Austin and Silicon Valley the unique capacity of research institutions has been leveraged for these purposes providing an edge for industry and entrepreneurs, and consistent economic growth. Can that happen in Connecticut?

Join us on June 2, 2010 when the University of Connecticut will host the Connecticut Venture Group and The Connecticut Technology Council for a program entitled, Leveraging University Assets for Industry and Entrepreneurs.  Designed for entrepreneurs, investors, and industry CEO’s, CTO’s and research & development officers, the program will feature expert-led presentations on technology transfer and other university-industry interactions that foster growth and development.

In addition to hearing perspectives from leaders of nationally recognized programs, the program features remarks from University President Michael J. Hogan and a panel discussion with Dean Mun Young Choi from the School of Engineering, Dean Christopher Earley from the School of Business and Dr. Cato T. Laurencin, Vice President for Health Affairs and Dean of the School of Medicine.
