Tech Transfer Investing and Spinouts Conference
27 - 28 May 2008
Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney
The Tech Transfer Investing and Spinouts Conference will unite university tech transfer officers, corporate R&D labs and government labs with venture capital and private equity investors.
The conference will focus on starting, building and financing technology-based spinouts from universities, government labs and corporations. The conference will allow tech transfer executives, venture capitalists and corporations to have an open and honest dialogue on term structures and deal partnerships.
The conference will provide best practices on spinning out companies from labs and preparing them for seed and early stage financing from angel investors, venture capitalists and corporations. Leading practitioners will speak out on university and industry collaborations, effective IP commercialisation, leveraging intangible assets, and assessing and valuing early stage technology and commercialisation viability.
Case study illustrations will reflect successful corporate innovation initiatives, government lab spinouts and partnerships between universities and the venture capital community. In addition, a tech transfer showcase, entitled The New Captains of Innovation, will profile emerging technologies from university and government labs to the audience of private equity investors. Clean technology, Biotech, Medical Device and New Materials technologies will be profiled.
