This Short-Course will provide the fundamental terminology and concepts
to the participating undergraduates, graduates, faculty, staff, and
interested people from the community who want to learn more about the
commercialization process. The course also targets Innovators who plan
to participate in the Lab2Market Technology Disclosure
Competition on October 14, 2005. At least one member of each innovation
team planning to enter a technology in the Technology Disclosure Competition
must participate in this Short Course to have their technology qualify
for the Competition.
This Short Course will provide the fundamental terminology and concepts
associated with the technology commercialization process. Participants
also will practice their “elevator pitches” that will be
presented at the Technology Disclosure Competition if their technologies
are selected for the Competition.
Learning during the Short-Course will be very interactive in contrast
to typical commercialization seminars in which material is delivered
in traditional lecture format. This means that the participants are
expected to complete the assigned readings before each class session.
Recent business case studies and articles documenting the challenges
confronted during the commercialization of new technologies will be
analyzed. The featured companies in the case studies provide valuable
insights—either due to success or failure—in content areas
such as: business model development; IP management; financing; and technology
alliances, marketing, and launch.
When: Sept 6 – 9, 2005, each day at 2:00 – 4:30 PM
Where: Portland State University, Classroom NH 454
For remote participants, live video streaming will be available
Cost: Free (except for the cases and articles that have a fee)
