About The EntreTech Forum
The EntreTech Forum consists of moderated monthly panel discussions on
emerging academic research and the commercialization of this technology. It
was designed for those interested in technology innovation and marketing
collaboration and networking with fellow entrepreneurs, business and
government executives, investors, and technology researchers.
The technology-innovation presentations feature entrepreneurial and
corporate accomplishments along commercialization pathways with discussions of
tech transfer and technology incubation and research from universities,
industry and government. The multi-disciplinary subjects of raising and
utilizing different forms of capital, building alliances and structuring deals
are included as part of the programming, and serve as tools for the
entrepreneur and researcher to commercialize science and technology.
The EntreTech Forum is an affiliate of Northeastern University's School of
Technological Entrepreneurship (STE) and is directed by a governing board of
business principals, investors, and researchers
