Idea to Product: Technology Innovation & Commercialization Seminar Series

What is the Idea to Product Seminar Series?

The Idea to Product (I2P) Seminar Series is targeted towards students of all colleges who are interested in technology entrepreneurship.  This course was created to help bridge the gap between technology, entrepreneurship, and business skills with the help of guest speakers such as CEOs of technology firms and professors at UT.  Although the I2P Seminar Series is a class, anyone may attend.  The Seminar educates students in the up-and-coming fields of Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information Technology, and others.

This year's seminar series is hosted by TES and the Chair of Free Enterprise, as well as the Cockrell School of Engineering, the College of Natural Sciences, the Graduate Engineering Council (GEC), Nanotechnology at UT Austin, UT Engineering Faculty Women's Organization, and the following departments:  CS, ECE, ME, and BME.
