Innovation Series: Funding for Commercialization
- Organizer: Center for Research Innovation
- Venue: Zoom
Commercialization of grant-funded research provides additional opportunities for Northeastern inventors to increase the impact of their work. Financial support is available to help you move your research out of the lab and into the hands of the people who will benefit. Join the College of Engineering, Center for Research Innovation (CRI), and the Kostas Research Institute for a virtual panel discussion on procuring funding for commercialization. Our panel will include perspectives from faculty who have succeeded (and struggled) to secure commercialization-oriented funding as well as commentary from an application reviewer for MassVentures' SBIR START Program. In addition, the panel will highlight financial support available at Northeastern to advance technologies towards commercialization including the CRI’s Spark Fund.
Moderator and panelists include:
- Katie Hemphill – Director of Technology Ventures & Talent Network at the CRI
- Sara Rouhanifard - Assistant Professor of Bioengineering, Co-Founder of ViralNPQ
- Yi Zheng - Associate Professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Founder and President of Planck Energies
- Randall Erb - Associate Professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Co-Founder of Boston Materials, Fortify, and Fourier
- Tom Vaneck - CEO and Director of the Kostas Research Institute
