The format of the Academy is a five-day immersive program integrating lecture, exercises, and team projects.
Students work within inter-disciplinary teams to identify, design, and validate new business opportunities, under the guidance of faculty, technology transfer staff, and experienced entrepreneurs and investors from environmental science and technology-based ventures.
Scott Lenet, DFJ Frontier
Participants leave with the knowledge and skills needed to recognize, develop, and communicate potential commercial and knowledge distribution opportunities arising from their research and how to tap the social networks linking them to the entrepreneurial community.
The program is taught by venture capitalists, angel investors, entrepreneurs and UC faculty.
"The Center for Entrepreneurship is unlocking the value from hundreds of millions in research at UC Davis--giving the school's scientists and business students the same advantages as the entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley and Route 128." - Scott Lenet, DFJ Frontier
We invite you to be our partner in the Center's ground-breaking Entrepreneurship Academies. For the past five years, we have provide cutting-edge programs in innovation and entrepreneurship for science and engineering researchers.
