Mentoring Session |
The academy is a three-day immersive program integrating lecture, exercises, and team projects.
Students work to identify, design, and validate new business opportunities for their research project. Sessions are taught by venture capitalists, angel investors, entrepreneurs and industry executives.
Participants learn how to recognize, develop, and communicate the potential commercial opportunities of their research and tap the social networks linking them to the business, investment and entrepreneurial community.
