Starting Something That Matters

Join Joe DiNunzio, executive director of the UC Davis Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, for an introduction to the most important skill any innovator or entrepreneur needs: the ability to build a network around their ideas. Later in the workshop, Vicky Lee, a partner with DLA Piper's technology and sourcing group, will address the concept and concerns surrounding intellectual property (IP), often a new venture’s first tangible asset. 

Ideas into Action workshops teach the knowledge and skills needed to move from concept to company—and to effectively compete in the annual UC Davis Big Bang! Business Competition.

Even if you don’t wish to become an entrepreneur, the leadership skills you learn through the Ideas into Action workshop series and the Big Bang! will translate into whatever career path you chose. You'll learn to:

• Solve complex problems
• Be a part of and effectively lead cross-functional and cross-cultural teams
• Make connections and build your network
• Thrive in challenging times
