"Entrepreneurial tech transfer" involves commercializing university and federal lab R&D by partnering with entrepreneurs, alumni, angel investors and venture capitalists to help create venture-backed start-ups. This unique new conference offers a national venue for attendees to meet, discuss and network on best practices for entrepreneurial tech transfer, including:
  • working with universities (especially angel investors, VCs and private equity investors),
  • creating university-affiliated companies, and
  • improving the national innovation economy.


Highlighted speakers include:
  • Richard Russell (Associate Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy, Executive Office of the President of the United States)
  • Robert Cresanti (Under Secretary for Technology, U.S. Department of Commerce)
  • Mark Heesen (president, National Venture Capital Association-NVCA)
  • John Fraser (president, Association of University Technology Managers-AUTM)
  • Stephen Crawford (director, Center for Best Practices, National Governors Association-NGA)

The Monday night reception for the conference will be held at Congress. The Monday night reception is co-sponsored by the Advisory Committee to the Congressional Internet Caucus and its 183 members of Congress. It is a strictly bi-partisan Congressional group with an interest in technology policy and the innovation economy.






Universities have become "ground zero" for the new innovation economy.
Each year, universities around the country create 400 new start-ups based on cutting edge, federally funded R&D. These companies are becoming the foundation of the new national innovation economy.

While traditional tech transfer consists of licensing patents to commercialize university R&D, "entrepreneurial tech transfer" refers to the new focus of universities on start-up creation and funding. However, this new focus necessitates a fresh look at how universities interact with other stakeholders in the innovation economy.

This new national University Start-ups Conference will facilitate dialoguing, relationship building and deal-making amongst and between:

  • university technology transfer officials
  • university affiliated start-ups
  • entrepreneurial faculty researchers
  • entrepreneurial graduate students
  • senior university executives

    • AND

  • government R&D program managers (who each year provide $26.7 billion to higher education for academic research and development)
  • SBIR/STTR program managers
  • angel investors and ACA groups
  • university angels
  • venture capital firms
  • Federal lab researchers
  • Federal tech transfer managers
  • SBIR/STTR grantees
  • serial entrepreneurs
  • strategic university alumni
  • licensing executives
  • corporate technology managers
  • Fortune 500 licensing scouts
  • corporate M&A officers
  • business development officers
  • state economic development officials
  • investment bankers
  • private equity investors
  • Washington-based embassies with technology transfer programs
  • Congressional staffers working on the innovation economy
  • NGO's with a focus on the innovation economy
