CAP Workshop 1: Opportunity Discovery

Have a promising discovery but aren't sure what comes next? Join the Office of Innovation & Economic Development for the
Commercialization Advancement Pathway, a three-part workshop series designed to help researchers move innovations from disclosure to real-world impact.

The series kicks off with Opportunity Discovery, a 90-minute session focused on building a testable business thesis, refining your value proposition, and mapping the people and organizations that can move your technology forward.

No business experience required, and no commitment to starting a company.
Faculty, postdocs, research staff, and graduate students are all welcome.
Complete the 3-workshop pathway to become eligible for a pitch contest this spring.
