About this Event

As a CEO, entrepreneur, or executive of a small to mid-sized company, tapping into the wealth of R&D resources and innovations created by the research enterprise at Clemson University could be the key to unlocking new opportunities for your business. Clemson University Research Foundation (CURF) focuses on increasing industry engagement and commercialization opportunities of Clemson's intellectual property portfolio. They can help you navigate the extensive research enterprise to address your specific R&D needs.

CURF is a collaborative partner for internal and external stakeholders providing guidance on product development, navigating research resources and capabilities available at Clemson, and de-risking inventions through various innovation and commercialization grant opportunities.

Attorney Doug Kim, founder of the Kim, Lahey & Killough Law Firm, will moderate a panel discussion featuring CURF's Executive Director Chris Gesswein and Associate Director of Business Development Mark Roth, and local business owners will share their lessons learned and experiences.

Afterward, we’ll head upstairs to the 8th floor for drinks, snacks, and networking with breathtaking views of downtown Greenville in the THRIVE Coworking complex.
