 9:30  –  11:30  am   Professional  Development  Session  –  Room  606  

 Entrepreneurship:  Idea  to  Product    How  can  knowledge  and  research  output  be  converted  into  an  entrepreneurial  venture  that  provides  benefit  to  society?  What  constitutes  an  invention  and  what  is  the  intellectual  property  that  can  be  commercialized?  How  can  students  get  started  with  this  process?  This  workshop  for  graduate  students  and  post-­‐doctoral  researchers  will  introduce  key  concepts  for  technical  entrepreneurship.  During  this  introductory  two  hour  session  we  will  present  examples  of  University  startups,  illustrate  how  to  identify  a  viable  idea  based  on  your  technical  expertise,  understand  the  intellectual  property  options,  explore  possible  target  markets  and  do  initial  planning  for  a  sustainable  business.  Entrepreneurship  is  a  viable  career  option!      Emanuel  Istrate,  Impact  Centre,  University  of  Toronto
