Our events include trainings, lecture series, and a training/certification program in “Advanced Technology Commercialization”, in partnership with the Rochester Institute of Technology.
It is our belief through the advancement of truly advanced technology, we can positively affect GDP growth in participating markets, on a regional to global scale. If we educate the startup businesses, researchers, and academic leaders on how to commercialize their advanced research more effectively, we can make a measured and impressive impact on our world.
We also seek to identify, and potentially fund, joint technology development opportunities to work with US-based universities, institutes, government labs and research centers.
The concept for the creation of an advanced technology venture creation center combining entrepreneurial, executive and researcher education with the implementation of commercialization proven innovation implementation schemes was developed by our founder after he was challenged by governmental and university leaders, in the US and Asia, to find a new and better ways to bring advanced technology products and services to the domestic and global marketplace.
OUR APPROACH
We are seeking US emerging and advanced technology developers who have proven technology, presumably beyond the working prototype stage, that clearly fills and identifiable market niche that is large enough to eventually attract a Series A round of venture capital investment. Your firm should have protected IP that is licensable without any infringement on existing IP
