ATHERING OF THOSE INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING AND COLLABORATING WITH UNIVERSIT
Y TECH AND STARTUP GAP FUND AND ACCELERATOR PROGRAMS
The lack of true early-stage capital and innovation developmental support is a m ajor challenge in advancing promising university technology from the lab to commercial and investment partners.
Research institutions are leading through the imp lementation of university gap funding (proof of concept, startup, ven ture) and accelerator programs to bridge this “valley of death ”. Over the past 15 years, these programs have evolved into sophisti cated investment, evaluation, development, and commercialization supp ort mechanisms to nurture the most promising opportunities in emergi ng, high-growth technology areas.
Smart companies and investors are taking notice and making it a strategic, external innovation and investment priority to partner with these university gap fund and accelerator programs through applied research, proof of concept projects, corporate ven ture investments, and advisory/mentorship in return for insights, competiti ve positioning, and access to future technology and start-ups.
COVERGENCE is where we meet, learn, a nd talk about what we can do together to catalyze innovation through univer sity gap fund and accelerator programs.
