The New York Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with experts in the startup community, organized this From Scientist to Entrepreneur Series to foster innovation and entrepreneurship among Academy members and the wider NYC scientific community by demystifying the exciting process of taking an innovation from bench to market. By equipping scientists with the tools they need to recognize a commercializeable innovation when it crosses their path and then to turn that innovation into a viable venture, this series opens the door for the successful translation of technologies into commercial products.
Preparing not only those interested in commercializing their own technologies, but also those eager to help other scientists turn their innovations into businesses and those who are considering joining an existing startup company, the series included sessions on intellectual property and the patenting process (Part 1), opportunity recognition (Part 2), the technology transfer process (Part 3), and the path to a comprehensive business plan (Part 4).
