On September 28th the Center for Technology Commercialization (CTC) in partnership with Discovery to Product (D2P) hosted an event called Moving Your Tech Out Of Academia during UW Innovate Week.
At this lunch & learn, over 40 innovators heard from tech entrepreneurs and support organizations on how one might take a technology and spin out a company focused on commercial applications for their innovation.
The robust panel discussion included Dr. Carl Carol Hirschmugl of Conovate, Dr. Kevin Barnett of Pyran, Dr. Eric Schmuck from Cellular Logistics, Dr. Bonnie Bachman from UW-Madison TEO office and CTC’s own Robert Baranowski discussed their experiences with taking the leap out of academia.
