Are you considering spinning out your research? Taking a ground-breaking innovation through to product and services that create impact? Interested to hear from experienced founders who have taken the same journey?
Join us for talks, case studies and advice to inspire academics and researchers to create impact from research through the formation of spin out companies.
17 October 2023 at The Howard Theatre, Downing College, Cambridge
This event brings together entrepreneurs from a variety of backgrounds, who will share their enterprise experiences and spin-out journeys, together with the networks, accelerators and investors who helped and advised them. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, and to network during the breaks and at the drinks reception.
As this event has been oversubscribed in previous years, priority will be given to early stage academic entrepreneurs and academic researchers, PostDocs and PhDs.
