Fireside Chat: Pathways from Research to Commercialization

Join Innovate Carolina during UNC Research Week to explore research translation, commercialization, and startup support at Carolina
About this Event

Are you a UNC-Chapel Hill faculty member, graduate student or postdoctoral researcher interested in research translation, commercialization or entrepreneurship? Innovate Carolina will be hosting a fireside chat tailored for you during UNC Research Week. This panel discussion will bring together representatives from the Institute for Convergent Sciences, Office of Technology Commercialization and KickStart Venture Services to share how we can collaboratively support you as you navigate the journey from research discovery to real world impact.

Panelists will discuss how you can disclose, protect and bring novel research ideas to market; foster the translation of your impactful technologies that will promote commercialization and economic development in North Carolina and beyond; and receive entrepreneurial support that will enable you to create meaningful startups based on your research. Together, these perspectives will offer a practical overview of the resources available at Carolina for researchers interested in entrepreneurship, translation, licensing, and startup formation.

Innovate Carolina is designed to support transformative research and innovation, consisting of units working in close collaboration to build out new intellectual property, industry and government collaborations, and new startup companies to generate real world impact. We look forward to meeting with you on October 19th!
